Case Study: Waggytail Rescue saves $3,300+ in fees and helps 15 dogs with Zeffy

How Waggytail Rescue Saves NYC’s Vulnerable Pets One Zero-Fee Donation at a Time

Waggytail Rescue, an all-volunteer animal rescue organization in NYC, faced a chaotic and costly fundraising process. They were using multiple tools to handle donations, event ticketing, and merchandise, which was inefficient. The biggest challenge was losing a significant portion of their donations to platform fees, which directly limited the number of animals they could save.

By switching to Zeffy's 100% free fundraising platform, Waggytail consolidated all of their efforts into one place. The solution eliminated all processing and platform fees. This saved them over $3,300 in fees, which the organization directly translated into impact: the funds saved covered the veterinary care and transport for 15 at-risk dogs and provided specialty care for two other medically complex rescues.
