Saving more than money

5.0 4 weeks ago New

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.

Zefy is the absolute best fundraising choice

5.0 last month New

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

Easy and Effective!

5.0 2 months ago

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.

Most efficient value for non profits

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: It was easy to setup. Got up and running in two weeks compared with six months of Paypal.

Pros:

Best value for the money as this has been recommended by other Toastmaster treasurers that used the application.

Cons:

I would like a template where I can onboard a new member joining for the first time and I can simply enter the email address.
