Stop paying for a CRM here, a volunteer tool there, and events somewhere else. Kindly gives you powerful donor management plus volunteers, events, and members in one platform on a predictable subscription - with donations processed through Stripe at standard rates.
Many donation platforms charge a percentage of every gift on top of payment processing. Kindly charges a flat monthly subscription instead, and runs donations through Stripe at standard rates - so your costs don't climb every time generosity does.
"Free" tip-funded platforms
Donor tip on every gift
Zeffy pre-selects roughly a 15-17% donor tip; donors can opt out, but many don't realize it.*
Percentage-fee platforms
Platform fee + processing
Donorbox runs roughly 5-6% all-in on its free Standard plan; the cost rises with every dollar you raise.
Predictable subscription
From $129/mo, flat
One subscription covers donors, volunteers, events, and members. Donations process through Stripe at standard rates.
With a flat subscription, you know your platform cost up front - it doesn't scale with how much you raise.
*Zeffy pre-selects a donor tip (roughly 15-17% on smaller gifts) that the nonprofit cannot remove. Donors can decline it, but many don't realize it's optional.

Platforms like Zeffy advertise as "100% free" - but there's a catch. When donors give through Zeffy, they're shown a pre-selected 15-17% "tip" to support the platform. Many donors don't realize it's optional or how to remove it.
The result? Donors who intended to give $100 to your cause end up giving $115-117 total, with $15-17 going to a tech company instead of your mission.
Managing donor relationships shouldn't drain your budget or your time. Yet many nonprofits struggle with scattered data across spreadsheets, a separate subscription for every job, and donation platforms that take a percentage of every gift on top of payment processing.
When a platform charges a percentage of donations, your costs climb every time generosity does - and that's before the cost of the separate volunteer, events, and email tools bolted on around it. Kindly replaces that stack with one predictable subscription. Use our fundraising fee calculator to see exactly what your current platform costs you.
