Fundraising Fees Are Holding Your Nonprofit Back

Most fundraising tools weren’t built to help nonprofits scale their mission — they were built to extract a percentage of it. Zeffy is the only platform that removes fees entirely, so you can stop compromising and start growing.

Why Zero-Fee Fundraising Isn’t Just About Saving Money

Nonprofits are under growing pressure to do more with less.They’re expected to prove efficiency, stretch every dollar, and still grow their impact — all while using platforms that skim fees offevery donation.

At Zeffy, we believe that’s backwards.

Every time you raise $50,000 with other platforms, you lose an average of $2,100 to fees.

What $2,100 could fund instead:

30
spay/neuter surgeries
8,500+
meals served
40
classroom supply kits
3
charter buses for field trips
2-3
youth mission trips fully funded
