What Is Zeffy?
Zeffy, a registered B Corp™, is the only 100% free fundraising platform built for nonprofits. No platform fees. No transaction fees. No credit card fees, ever.
Too many nonprofits lose thousands of dollars a year to fundraising software that chips away at every donation. We believe the technology available to nonprofits should actually serve their mission, not extract from it. That's why we built one powerful, easy-to-use platform, and made it completely free.
See why our users rated Zeffy (formerly Simplyk) as one of the best fundraising platforms for nonprofits here.
How does Zeffy stay free? We're funded by optional tips from donors. When someone completes a donation, they can choose to leave a small contribution to help keep Zeffy running. It's fully optional, always separate from the donation to your organization, and clearly explained — no tricks. This model has kept Zeffy financially sustainable since 2023, and it means our incentives are fully aligned with yours.
Trusted by over 100,000 nonprofits, Zeffy has helped organizations raise $2B+ without losing a single dollar to fees. See why nonprofits rate Zeffy #1 for customer satisfaction →
