Zeffy processes all memberships for one year from the day the membership is purchased. If you are renewing your membership, please do so close to the expiration date of your current membership. If your current membership has expired, your new membership will be established for one year from the date you take action to become active again. If you set up a Zeffy account, you will be able to see all the Zeffy actions you have initiated. Zeffy also offers the option for automatic annual renewal of your DCBS membership.
Why is DCBS using the Zeffy platform? Zeffy involves no costs and no processing fees for non-profits. Zeffy relies solely on voluntary tips from users. So if you want to show your support for this great tool for non-profits, leave a tip for Zeffy of the amount you choose. Zeffy also allows users to include a donation for DCBS, in addition to the membership fee, if the member desires.
