What do you like best about Zeffy?

We are a very small nonprofit and the zeffy team has been great in helping us get setup with their platform. They are every responsive in their support. They offer free regular workshops to help you learn more and ask questions about how to get the most of the plateform. We were able to set up different compaigns to raise funds and we love the fact that Zeffy immediatly sends the donor receipts and creates a spreadsheet that allows us to know who donated and how much and export that into Excel. All this and there are no fees that eat up into the donation. I highly recommend Zeffy especially to nonprofits who need every cent that gets donated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeffy?

We've been using it for few months and honestly I cannot think at this point of anything that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zeffy solving and how is that benefiting you?

First, it doesn't charge fees that reduce the donation and this is important for our small nonprofit. Zeffy enables us to do different campaigns including peer-to-peer and it's donor managment and CRM features have reduced the time and effort need to track this information. It is like having an additional "staff member" that is cost free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zeffy?

We recently used Zeffy for our Rotary Club's online auction, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional! The platform's user-friendly interface made setting up, managing, and following up on the auction incredibly smooth. Throughout the process, we encountered no issues, and the support we received was top-notch.

Thanks to Zeffy, our Rotary Club was able to raise a significant amount of money. The platform's features and ease of use significantly contributed to the success of our event. I highly recommend Zeffy to any non-profit organization looking for an efficient and reliable solution for their fundraising needs. It's a game-changer in the world of online auctions! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeffy?

There were only 3 photos per item allowed. This ended up not being a problem, as we simply separated out the 'prize baskets'. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zeffy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Collecting money at the end of a fundraiser. Zeffy makes this process seamless! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zeffy?

I am so grateful for everything Zeffy offers! We used their services to get our nonprofit up and running - they prepared and filed our paperwork so we could take our nonprofit from an idea to reality. From there, we have used them for our fundraising efforts and our raffle with amazing results. Both platforms were easy to setup and easy for our donors to use. Cannot say enough positive things about this amazing company! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeffy?

I have yet to experience any downsides with Zeffy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zeffy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zeffy has allowed us - a brand new nonprofit with very limited funds - to raise money in a user friendly way and to keep so much more of our funds! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zeffy?

Our tiny non profit needs to be able to use every dollar that is donated, and Zeffy is the ONLY one who lets us do that. Not only do they give us the full donation, their tools and webinars have made it very simple to add links and integrate it with our Social Media pages, our Website, and I need to repeat they are so easy to use. I have made a online raffel with huge sucess, I have added a store to our web page, and I cant wait to host an event, and I am not a techy person at all. I can't sing their praises enough!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeffy?

The only think I dont like is the fact that not enough people know about it. Some people still would prefer to use Venmo, which takes a part of the donation away from us. I wish more people knew and trusted Zeffy. It really is so amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zeffy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zeffy gives us the full donation. Zeffy also help us fundraise, using different events. Zeffy sends tax reciepts automatically, and also allows us to send them after the fact for in-kind donation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zeffy?

As a new program within our first year of operation, Zeffy has been a Game Changer and I would recommend it to anyone. The platform and creating forms has been easy to use. Donors have also been happy with their donation documents and emails. We've been grateful for the fee structure. Customer support has been responsive and helpful in the initial set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeffy?

I haven't found anything yet, and we've been using it for 8-9 months Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zeffy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Peoceessing fees that would have been difficult for our program participants to afford on top of program fees. It is a contained system, which allows my to oversee and manage donors and their information, and to develop new campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zeffy?

Zeffy has made setting up membership organizations remarkably easy! The process was intuitive and fluid. Everything fell into place just perfectly! and when I had questions, their support and FAQs were super helpful! The money we have saved has been redirected toward the vital work we do in keeping vulnerable Angelenos housed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeffy?

The payout schedule is the only downside -- and that is from my co-workers. I'm ok with weekly payouts! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zeffy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zeffy has relieved us form having multiple apps and sites to set up our member-based support organization. The donor management has been fantastic, as well, ensuring that everything is one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zeffy?

Zeffy is a platform every nonprofit should consider using. Not only is it free, but it also simplifies donation management, campaign planning, goal setting, and tracking monthly donations all in one place. At Reclaiming Hope Ranch, we switched to Zeffy because of its ease of use and the responsive technical support we receive whenever we have questions. The system is straightforward to implement and requires minimal training to use effectively. If you do need more help, there are training videos available. We also appreciate Zeffy’s commitment to continuous improvement, always aiming to make the platform even better for all its users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeffy?

We've encountered a minor issue with form customization. While Zeffy does offer customization options, there are some limitations on how much we can tailor the forms to our exact preferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zeffy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our biggest issue was not having everything in one place! We appreciate that Zeffy allows us to fundraise effectively and efficiently while also managing our donors and tracking past contributions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zeffy?

Zeffy has taken the frustration of fees out of the equation. As a small non profit organization focused on empowering girls to be their best selves, it was hard to see thousands of dollars lost to fees every year instead of being able to invest those dollars directly back into the organization.

With an incredibly user-friendly platform, spectacular customer service and extra options we didn't even know we needed, we are able to easily implement Zeffy into all of our operational tasks. It is allowing us to connect more effectively with the public to encourage support for the organization.

We've recommended Zeffy to numerous non-profits in our area and will continue to spread the word! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeffy?

Zeffy donation needs a "not now" choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zeffy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reducing fees paid to services for event ticketing. Huge recoup in funds.

CRM is new to us and Zeffy is providing an integrated approach to build that database through event sales.

Integrated store feature allows us to fundraise easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zeffy?

Zeffy does not charge any fees for transactions. It is easy to use for us and the people using it to donate or pay for products from our online store. Whenever there are issues, which has not been very often, the customer support is amazing and very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeffy?

I have not had any negative issues with Zeffy since I started using them. The only thing that was a little difficult was the initial set up, but that was just because I am not great with computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zeffy solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main reason we started using Zeffy was because they do not charge fees on our transactions and this saves us money that can then go towards helping our non profit society do the work we do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zeffy?

No transaction fees for our members/donors when collecting payments. It is very easy to use and get forms set up to collect payments for our events. We recently started using the auction feature and that was very easy to implement as well. Customer support has been helpful the few times I've needed to use them. We are using the platform to help manage a couple of events a month and now have started to use it for membership renewals as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeffy?

Wish it was more full featured. Wish it had custom member #s (we've recently stated using the membership option). API access for custom generating reports would be a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zeffy solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are solving our ability to collect payments via credit cards and now lose our on transaction fees or have to pass those transaction fees to our members/donors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
