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.\n\nNonprofits 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.\n\nThis 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.\n\nDonors 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.\n\nZeffy 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.\n\nZeffy'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.\n\nVolunteers 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.\n\nZeffy is a registered B Corp.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/428d998c-47bc-4d1e-bc17-a52aa14b5a2c.jpeg","url":"https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/190855/simplyk","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/190855/simplyk#software","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/#organization"},"applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingCount":497,"ratingValue":4.8},"offers":{"price":"0","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"CAD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Linux, Chrome, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"name":"Blackbaud Altru","description":"Blackbaud Altru is a cloud-based membership management solution that includes tools to manage ticketing and admissions, cultivate a membership database, convert ticket buyers and visitors, run merchandise, and much more.
