What makes Zeffy better for fundraisers like you
"Bloomerang was getting very expensive. I do miss the in-database reports, but those fees going to Bloomerang now go to the shelters, adopters, and pets we serve. Zeffy's model of absolutely no fees to non-profits is AMAZING."
- Michele O. - Board President
