Reviews of Zeffy
Saving more than money
Comments: Zeffy has changed the way that I do things - it has made my life so much simpler. By having everything on Zeffy, I can take care of so many things in just one place, and in a more intuitive way than some other platforms. The staff have been helpful and friendly. Seriously, Zeffy has saved my sanity and renewed my ability to focus more on the work I do rather than scattering my energy every which way.
Pros:
I love how Zeffy has made my work life so much easier in many ways. I can manage my email list, send messages to different segments, tag individuals and their interests, sell tickets to events, collect membership fees, and track income and engagement throughout. Best of all, I can do all of this (and more) without having a portion of our income being snatched up by a supposed 'ally' of non-profit organizations.
Cons:
There is nothing that I dislike about Zeffy. I love that they have regular introductory workshops that you can join to learn how to use the platform. It still took me a little bit of time to learn some of the ins and outs of the program, but I feel confident that, if I had a question, they would answer it quickly.
Alternatives Considered:
Really free
Comments: Very easy to use. Allows small non-profits to effectively accept card payments without it costing them a ton.
Pros:
It is truly a free platform and works easily and smoothly.
Cons:
Needs easier access to view the invoice/receipt that a client is sent/receives.
Quick and Easy
Comments: Love it!
Pros:
Setting up our raffle was easy and the interface is simple to use. We liked that it gave a QR code as well.
Cons:
Would be nice to have an online draw feature for raffles
Alternatives Considered:
Easy and Effective!
Comments: Overall my experience has been fantastic! It has been easy and effective, plus it's FREE for nonprofits.
Pros:
It is very easy to use. I am not particularly tech-savvy, but I was able to navigate the program and create the forms that I needed. Tech support was available when I did have questions.
Cons:
I would like for there to be an easy way to manage payments for Silent Auction items. While there is something in place for on-line auctions, I had to create my own make-shift way of managing our in-person auction.
Zefy is the absolute best fundraising choice
Comments: My overall experience with Zefy is absolutely incredible. They have saved me not only money but time. Thai is definitely the best site to use for fundraising
Pros:
Zefy handles everything with precision. They keep track of everything for you and donations are disbursed when they are suppose to be. They take all the worry out of everything for you.
Cons:
I really have no complaints the only thing I wish they had was an app I could download to my phone opposed to having to use the web browser
