See how Crowded and Zeffy stack up
Crowded and Zeffy both provide nonprofits a way to raise funds for their causes. While Zeffy boasts “no fees”, they ask donors for a hefty tip on top of their donations. Crowded never asks for tips, and in many cases, donors choose to cover the processing fee, meaning that the nonprofit fundraises 100% for free. Crowded offers the full package for managing nonprofit finances, while Zeffy only offers fundraising features.

Why nonprofits love using Crowded
“Last year, the team was run out of a personal checking account – which was a nightmare. When I took over as president, I knew there had to be a better businesses out there. Luckily we found Crowded, who we use for collecting dues & other payments, spending and banking! I’ve recommended Crowded to the other teams, because I see so much value in it.”
Michele, Lyons Township Boys Water Polo Co-President
“After our previous experiences with other platforms, Crowded’s solution seemed too good to be true. The whole process of paying the staff was super easy, and our staff were happier. A definite win-win. Looking forward to next summer!”
Tara, Camp Director, Raquette Lake Camps
“We only see benefits for our alumnae chapters who create a Crowded account. It gives the chapters freedom to manage their funds in a flexible way. That’s why we continue to say – Crowded is our financial management solution and we want more alumnae chapters to be utilizing it.”
Laura, Assistant Director of Lifetime Engagement, Alpha Chi Omega
“We were so glad to find a platform that allows us to support our chapters, and give them independence. There are complications managing an association partially comprised of volunteers who aren’t experienced with digital banking, but Crowded’s platform is so user-friendly that it was easily adopted across the organization.”
Abigail, Director of Chapters & Leadership, ANFP
“Since our guys are young volunteers gaining experience, it’s awesome to partner with a company that has tools to fit their needs. Things like transition assistance between officers or digital cards (the physical frat card always goes missing!) keep our guys focused on their mission and not bogged down administratively”
Turner, Director Of Administrative Services, Delta Kappa Epsilon
