Case Study: Community Music School of Santa Cruz saves over $2,000 in fees with Zeffy

How Community Music School of Santa Cruz found the online fundraising platform they were looking for

The Community Music School of Santa Cruz, a nonprofit with a small annual budget, was left scrambling for a new solution when its previous free donor management system eliminated its no-cost offering. They needed a way to manage donations and event registrations without losing any of their raised funds to platform and transaction fees.

The school implemented the Zeffy platform, a 100% free fundraising and donor management solution. By using Zeffy for donations, event ticketing, and camp registrations, the school saved over $2,383 in fees they would have otherwise paid to providers like PayPal or Square. This significant saving allowed them to direct more money directly to their youth music programs and scholarships.
