Important Information Regarding Our Online Registration Platform and Tip/Donation

  • We will be using a platform called Zeffy.  Zeffy is completely free for nonprofits - no platform fees, no credit card fees, no fees period! They’ve never charged a single cent to nonprofits. 100% of all payments received through Zeffy go directly to the nonprofit. Zeffy relies entirely on optional tips from those using the forms. When making a payment on a Zeffy form, you can choose to contribute to Zeffy or not. On average, 2 out of 3 people leave a tip. This is enough to cover all of their costs and re-invest in the development of Zeffy. Zeffy has been working with nonprofits for 7 years and, thanks to this 100% free model, currently supports 50,000 organizations across North America. The person using the system is never forced to tip Zeffy. You choose whether you are able to leave an optional tip to support Zeffy. If you are not able to, the nonprofit still keeps 100% of the money raised.
  • If you are able to, please help support this company and the amazing work they are doing to support non-profit organizations.
  •  *Please note they have preset the tip amount at 15% but you can click on that button and choose a pre-determined percentage or change it to “other” and put in the amount you are able to or zero.
