Ok, but how is Zeffy free?

It's simple - voluntary contributions from donors.

What is a voluntary contribution? 

On all forms, donors have the option (but are never obliged) to contribute to Zeffy. This is our only source of revenue and allows us to cover all of the fees for the 25,000+ nonprofits that fundraise with Zeffy.

Every cent donated to the nonprofit goes directly to the nonprofits bank account.
