Churches lose thousands each year to fundraising platform fees — money that could go toward missions, meals, and ministry. Zeffy is the only fundraising platform that charges absolutely zero fees to nonprofits, including zero credit card processing fees, so every dollar given goes directly to the cause.^1
Zeffy offers an all-in-one suite of tools: online donation forms with one-time and recurring giving, event ticketing, raffles and lotteries, silent auctions, peer-to-peer campaigns, memberships, an online store, and a built-in donor management CRM. Churches use it to collect tithes, sell event tickets, run mission trip fundraisers, and manage donor relationships — all from a single platform.^2 Zeffy supports credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH transfers, and even in-person tap-to-pay, making it easy for congregations to give however they prefer.^1
So how is it actually free? Zeffy sustains itself through optional tips that donors can choose to add at checkout. This voluntary contribution model has powered seven years of growth, processing over $1 billion in donations for more than 100,000 nonprofits across North America.^3 Founded in 2017 by François de Kerret and Thibaut Jaurou — two university students in Québec who wanted to bridge the gap between willing volunteers and nonprofits in need — Zeffy is a Certified B Corporation and has expanded to the UK.^4
