Zeffy Donate Button

The only 100% free donation plugin for nonprofits. No platform fees, no transaction

fees, no credit card fees — every dollar your donors give goes directly to your cause.

Trusted by over 100,000 nonprofits across the US and Canada, Zeffy has helped

organizations raise more than $2 billion. Churches, food banks, animal rescues,

schools, and community foundations use Zeffy to collect donations on their WordPress

sites without losing a cent to platform charges.

Most donation plugins charge a percentage of every gift, a monthly subscription, or

both. Zeffy charges nothing. Zeffy is funded entirely by optional tips that donors

can choose to leave — your nonprofit keeps 100% regardless. Zeffy is also a

certified B Corp, and has been supporting nonprofits for over 7 years.
