Important Payment Information
Why We Use Zeffy
Zeffy is our preferred payment processor because they charge nonprofits 0% processing fees. Every dollar of your credit card, debit card, or bank transfer stays directly with the Farm.
About the Optional Zeffy Tip
During checkout, Zeffy will ask for an optional tip to support their free platform. This is 100% optional. To skip it, select “Other” from the dropdown menu and enter $0. The Farm receives your full payment either way.
Prefer PayPal? We continue to accept membership payments through PayPal. However, if you are paying by card, we encourage you to use Zeffy, allowing the Farm to keep 100% of your donation.
- If you would rather renew or join by mail, you may print out a membership application, fill it out, and then mail it and your monetary donation to the Ellis Country Rural Heritage Farm Inc.
