Case Study: Village Reach saves on fundraising fees with Zeffy

Village Reach lost $1500 to Donorbox fees they’ve already saved nearly as much with Zeffy

Village Reach, a global nonprofit that funds community-led projects, faced a significant challenge with their previous fundraising platform, Donorbox. They lost over $1,500 in platform and transaction fees on donations, which directly contradicted their core value of financial stewardship and their "100% model" where every public dollar goes directly to their mission.

By switching to Zeffy's zero-fee fundraising platform, Village Reach eliminated all platform and transaction costs. This solution allowed them to save $917 on an $18,345 raise and ensure that all future donor money goes directly to funding projects. Zeffy also provided robust features like peer-to-peer fundraising and ticketing, which equipped the organization to better serve its mission and donors.
