Our verdict on Zeffy
Zeffy brings fundraising and donor management tools together for nonprofits. Its free plan covers donation forms, recurring gifts, event ticketing, peer-to-peer campaigns, donor CRM, email tools, and Tap to Pay in-person payments. The breadth makes it relevant to organizations that want to manage several fundraising activities in one platform, rather than only collect online donations. It is available on web, iOS, and Android, with API access also listed.
The toolkit extends beyond donation collection. Event features include attendee management, QR check-in, and guest-list exports; peer-to-peer campaigns include participant and team tracking. Donor records can include giving history, tags, notes, memberships, and attendance. Zeffy also includes raffles, auctions, an online store, and email campaigns. For organizations that need to connect other systems, listed integrations include QuickBooks, Salesforce, Google Sheets, DonorPerfect, Airtable, Xero, HubSpot, and Zapier. API access is read-only and covers payments, contacts, and campaigns, so it is suited to retrieving information rather than writing data back through the API.
According to Zeffy's published pricing information, the Free plan costs $0 per organization. The vendor says it charges nonprofits no platform, transaction, or credit-card fees, and that optional donor contributions at checkout fund the service. This makes the pricing model notable for organizations seeking broad functionality without a subscription charge, though the optional contribution model may be worth explaining to donors during checkout. Campaign reporting is listed as standard, so nonprofits needing more advanced reporting may prefer a product whose reporting capabilities better match that need. Zeffy is a fit for organizations seeking a wide range of free fundraising tools; teams wanting a narrow donation-only workflow or write-capable API access should consider alternatives.
