Free live fundraising thermometer for your campaign

Most fundraising thermometers are a Canva graphic or a printable someone updates by hand, so the bar your donors see is always yesterday's number. Zeffy's thermometer lives inside your donation form and moves the second a real gift clears, with a live donor list and leaderboard built in. It comes with every campaign, free.

100% free forever.
