Zeffy is all-in-one nonprofit fundraising software, built for small and medium organizations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland and Australia: charities, schools and parent teacher associations, churches, sports teams, food banks, animal rescues and grassroots community groups. Nonprofits keep 100% of every donation. There is no platform fee, no transaction fee, no credit card fee, no monthly subscription and no setup cost. Most fundraising platforms cost a nonprofit between 3% and 10% of what it raises once platform fees, card processing and paid plan tiers are added together. Zeffy covers those processing costs itself and is funded by optional contributions that donors can choose to add at checkout. Donors are never obliged to contribute, and a contribution is never taken out of the donation. Over 100,000 nonprofits have raised more than $2 billion on Zeffy this way. This is not a free tier with the useful parts locked behind an upgrade. Every nonprofit on Zeffy gets the full platform: online donation forms and donation pages, recurring giving, event ticketing and registration, peer-to-peer and team fundraising, memberships and membership cards, raffles, auctions, an online store, donation and donor management (CRM), email and newsletters, and automatic tax receipts. One account replaces the separate tools most small teams piece together, so donations, events, store purchases and email all report in one place. Some features vary by country. Donors can give on Zeffy by credit card, bank transfer (ACH in the United States, pre-authorized debit in Canada, SEPA in Germany), Apple Pay or Google Pay, from any device. Nonprofits can add a donate button to an existing website, sell tickets in person with Tap to Pay on a smartphone with no card reader, share a QR code at an event, publish a donation hub that brings all their campaigns onto one page, and show progress with a fundraising thermometer. Zeffy generates and sends tax receipts automatically, including IRS-compliant receipts for US 501(c)(3) organizations, CRA-compliant receipts in Canada, and Gift Aid submission to HMRC through Charities Online in the United Kingdom, at no additional cost. Zeffy's donor CRM holds one record per supporter with their giving history, event attendance, memberships, store purchases, email engagement, notes and tags. There is no per-contact pricing as the database grows. Existing contacts and history can be imported from a spreadsheet, a CSV or a Mailchimp export, and data syncs with QuickBooks Online or Zapier, or through Zeffy's open API and webhooks. Volunteers can set up a campaign on Zeffy without training, which matters for teams where the person running the fundraiser changes every year. Support comes from a team of fundraising specialists and is included for everyone at no cost. Zeffy is a registered B Corp. > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 497 users.

They tailor their platform to the needs of non-profits. And they're just awesome people to work with\! > > **Cons**: NOTHING\! There is absolutely NOTHING negative. I love Zeffy\! I think more non-profits should use Zeffy\! > > Zeffy is easy to use and the support is almost unreal\! They PROACTIVELY reach out if they see you try something and it wasn't completed, to make sure you don't need assistance. Absolutely the best customer support I have ever seen. ----- ### "Robust Services - Intuitive Interface" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *10 September 2026* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has been very helpful for our fundraising campaigns. The interface is easy to use, pretty intuitive... and honestly, quite robust for a free product (free for us\!). > > **Cons**: Hmmmmm.... That's hard to say. We had an issue during set up for one of our events..... We didn't realize that to have two separate bank accounts, you would need to set it up as two different organizations in the system. The bad news is that we had already created a whole entire event under one profile.... and then had to go back and re-create that event under the other profile because there is no option to "duplicate events between profiles." The second thing that is a drawback is when I set up e-mails to go out to large groups, it will bounce back the whole lot sometimes. I understand that I need to integrate it with our web-hosting site... but I tried and it was difficult. And I am usually \*pretty technically savvy.\* But, I wasn't able in that case... > > Like I said, it has been very useful with our fundraising campaigns. Surprisingly robust. Lots of good info and records to be used on the backend... I need to explore more with "volunteer management" and "staff management." Not really sure what services are available in those realms. But, that could also be super helpful. ----- ### "Cowabunga\!" — 1.0/5 > **Marissa** | *12 September 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having multiple options to offer our supporters. I love that there is no fee as with a nonprofit we want to use our funds for our mission. I love how easy it is to create campaigns and send thank you emails to our donors. > > **Cons**: That I didn't start using Zeffy sooner. I have t found a con to this software. Everything works so smooth and payments are super easy to get deposited to our bank account. > > Very satisfied came in clutch when the venue of our event ticketing software crashed. We were able to use Zeffy and still sell tickets ----- ### "Review from WHOW (Women Helping Other Women)" — 5.0/5 > **Michelle** | *22 August 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that Zeffy offers it's services to non-profits for no cost and provides great service. There tools are very user friendly. > > **Cons**: I have not had any bad experience with Zeffy and MOST of our non-profit is managed through them. Our events, communications, contacts, finances, etc. The only thing I don't like is they don't do EVERYTHING we need\! > > They are attentive and responsive when we have questions, concerns, or even ideas of other services. ----- ### "Helping tiny agencies compete" — 5.0/5 > **Kim** | *21 July 2026* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It really supports a small nonprofit, like ours, to be able to access tools we would not be able to affort through other platforms, and they also response to support requests promptly and completely, helping to insure our success. They also offer many ideas for ways to make our fundraising campaign more successful and more appealing to possible donors. > > **Cons**: Honestly, I found it super easy to use and helpful. I would say that it might be helpful to have their support guide easier to locate, but overall it is a wonderful tool\! > > Zeffy is allowing us to compete with the 'big boys' in how attractive and appealing our fundraising efforts are, and we are grateful to have found it. ----- Page: 1 / 21\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/190855/simplyk?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/190855/simplyk) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
