Case Study: Miamibloco raises $97K fee-free with Zeffy

How Zeffy powers Miami’s most vibrant community drumming nonprofit, without fees

Miamibloco, a vibrant Afro-Brazilian percussion community and nonprofit, faced the significant challenge of managing expensive operational costs for its drumming ensemble. They needed a way to handle ticket sales, program registrations, and donations without losing crucial funds to platform and payment processing fees, which was particularly difficult for their small, lean organization.

By switching to Zeffy's 100% free platform, Miamibloco consolidated their fundraising, ticketing, and registration into a single tool. This solution allowed them to raise over $95,000 without paying any fees, saving them more than $4,800. These savings were directly reinvested into their mission, enabling them to fund weekly equipment transportation, offer community scholarships, and expand their programming.
