About Zeffy: Donations are processed through Zeffy, a donation-processing platform that is free for nonprofits to use. During checkout, Zeffy may give donors the option to add a voluntary contribution to support Zeffy's platform. That optional contribution is separate from your donation to AEI — it is not required, and AEI does not receive it. Your full donation amount goes to AEI.
