FAQ about Zeffy for nonprofits
Is Zeffy really free for nonprofits?
Yes. Zeffy states that its fundraising tools and donor CRM are 100% free for nonprofits. It charges no monthly subscription, platform fee or credit-card fee. Donors may leave an optional tip, but the nonprofit is not required to charge one.
What happens if donors leave a tip?
Donors may leave optional tips, which Zeffy says help cover payment processing and the service. The record states that donations and the included fundraising tools remain free. The tip is optional, so it is not a required nonprofit subscription or platform charge.
Does Zeffy charge per contact?
No per-contact pricing is stated in the record. Zeffy also states that no important free-plan caps apply. The nonprofit therefore does not face a stated monthly contact charge, platform fee or credit-card fee, although donors can still choose to leave a tip.
Who qualifies for free Zeffy access?
Zeffy describes the core product as free specifically for nonprofits, so there is no separate percentage discount to claim. The record does not list a separate application process or narrower nonprofit eligibility condition. Optional donor tips do not change the stated free access price.
