Zeffy is a fundraising platform for donations, event ticketing, and memberships that charges nonprofits no platform or processing fees, relying on optional contributions from donors. The key point for atlaspreneur readers is eligibility: the organization must be registered in a supported country, namely the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, or Germany.
Key features
- Donation forms: one-time and monthly giving with no fees.
- Events and ticketing: sell tickets for fundraising events.
- Memberships: manage member subscriptions and renewals.
- Auctions and raffles: tools for silent auctions and draws.
- Automatic receipts: sent to donors after each gift.
Pricing
Zeffy is fully free for eligible nonprofits. It relies on optional contributions donors add at checkout, which they can set to zero.
Eligibility is limited to organizations registered in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, or Germany. Organizations registered in Morocco, Egypt, or the Gulf cannot use it directly.
Prices change over time, so check Zeffy’s own pages for current rates before subscribing.

Who it’s best for
Nonprofits connected to the region but registered in a supported country, such as diaspora organizations and international chapters raising money for projects in the Middle East and North Africa.
Skip it if your organization is registered only in an unsupported country, since you will not be able to open an account.
