    What makes Zeffy better for fundraisers like you
    Zeffy was very easy to set up and very user-friendly. For a small nonprofit, it is exactly what we need. Obviously love that we get 100% of contributions. We don't have a large budget and with past platforms, it was painful to see donations going to fees. I found Flipcause unnecessarily complicated for what we needed and the fees were too high.
