All-in-one free fundraising and CRM for nonprofits

4.9 /5 across G2 and Capterra · 3,091 ratings, Sep 2026

Zeffy is a 100% free, all-in-one fundraising platform and donor CRM built specifically for nonprofits. It brings donation forms, recurring giving, event ticketing and registration, guest check-in, online and silent auctions, raffles and lotteries, peer-to-peer and team campaigns, memberships, an online store, and in-person card payments and cash logging into a single system. Because every activity writes to the same contact record, a supporter who buys a ticket, bids on an auction lot and renews a membership is one person in one database, not three exports to reconcile later. The CRM is not a lightweight add-on. It holds unlimited contacts with no tier above it, full giving history, segmentation, and email and newsletter campaigns with scheduling and automation, alongside automated tax receipts and an open API that reads and writes contacts and payments. Zeffy is free without conditions. There are no platform fees and no payment processing fees, and Zeffy absorbs the card costs out of its own revenue rather than passing them to the organization or to the donor. The company is funded by optional contributions donors can choose to add at checkout, and the nonprofit is never charged when a donor skips one. There is no paid tier, no contact limit and no feature gating, so nothing is unlocked by upgrading. More than 100,000 nonprofits use Zeffy and they have raised over $2B on the platform. It is available in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and Germany. Eligibility is an EIN or the local equivalent plus a bank account in the organization's name, so any registered nonprofit qualifies regardless of size. Support is included at no cost for every organization, by email or by phone, alongside a help center of more than 500 articles. There are no contracts, no setup fees and no minimums. Each silent auction form holds up to 50 items, per Zeffy's help center. Email campaigns can reach 5,000 recipients per send on the default mailer, or 30,000 with a custom sending domain. That is a per-send cap, not a daily cap.
