Say Hello to Zeffy!
In an effort to make giving easier, LJE PTO has partnered with Zeffy for all of our online payment processing: memberships, fundraisers, events, and more!
Why we chose Zeffy:
100% of your payment goes to LJE PTO. They don't take a cut, unlike most other platforms.
It's simple and secure. Pay by card in just a couple of minutes, right from your phone or computer.
No more chasing down cash or checks. Sign up and pay in one step.
Why Zeffy works for nonprofits like us: Zeffy is a payment platform built specifically for nonprofits, and their whole model is different. They cover their costs through optional tips instead of charging fees to organizations like ours. That's how they're able to offer 100% fee-free processing to PTOs, schools, and charities.
Here's the part we want everyone to understand: When you check out, Zeffy will ask if you'd like to leave an optional contribution to help support their platform.
This is completely optional and does not affect your PTO payment in any way.
If you'd rather not add anything extra, simply select "Other" and enter $0.00 — your membership or payment will still go through in full, no extra charges.
Of course, if you'd like to help Zeffy keep offering free service to nonprofits like ours, feel free to leave whatever you're comfortable with! But we want to be crystal clear: it is not mandatory, and either way, 100% of your actual payment comes directly to LJE PTO.
We know how hectic it gets during the school year, and we want to make your lives just a little bit easier. One less form to track down, one less check to write, one less thing to remember. That's what this move to Zeffy is all about.
Thank you for supporting our students! 💜
