Thrilled with our PledgeIt Experience!

We needed a very specific platform that was extremely customizable. PledgeIt not only did everything we needed it to do but it did it better than our previous platform. We also can't say enough good things about [sensitive content hidden] and the PledgeIt staff. They were so calm, answered every question, showed incredible patience with us, and made sure we knew they were there to help whenever we needed them.

PROS

Very customizable, easy to use, well thought out features. Easy to manage our event on the backside of the site. The PledgeIt team was amazing, especially [sensitive content hidden]!

CONS

We wish you had a Canadian version. :-)

Pledge It helped our Birdathon soar beyond its fundraising goal!

I felt fully supported by PledgeIt's communications team. They were prompt in their replies, understood what actions needed to happen or what I needed, and followed up when needed. They also (as a bonus) were so encouraging and supportive of our campaign. I was not expecting to receive such enthusiasm from their team, but it was appreciated. When features did not quite work as planned, or if they missed the mark, Pledge It's team was always ready to hear feedback, provide support, and when able, implement a solution. For example, early on in our campaign, team captains were unable to receive notifcations about donations made to the team (instead of to individual participants); after hearing about how important this is, PledgeIt was able to fix this issue. They've listened very closely to the feedback we've provided and it shows.

PROS

The registration process and donation process were incredibly easy, streamlined, and intuitive. People could easily navigate this platform on desktop and on their phones, and it displayed beautifully no matter where they viewed it. This platform allowed us to use our Foundation's branding on the site and all email communications, so people always knew where their donations were going. Did I mention it's a gorgeous platform? Visual looks don't mean much if the functionality isn't there, but Pledge It really brought both.

CONS

Some of the features didn't quite integrate with the unique fundraising campaign we were holding (a Birdathon) but they managed okay for the purposes of the event. Ideally, we'd be able to tailor/tweak certain features to make them more personalized for our specific campaign's needs, but we understand that isn't always easy on the developer's end. We're eager to see more functionality provided to team captains, including the ability to export a list of basic donor info for their team's records, and the ability for team captains to post updates that notify all donors on the team. We managed without these features, but having them would be a huge improvement.

Reason for choosing Pledge It

The other option we had been looking at was Blue Sky, as they provide a Birdathon specific platform. But it comes at a cost and Pledge It was free and offered a much cleaner, professional look and many of the same features.

Reasons for switching to Pledge It

We experienced incredibly poor service with our previous provider. Their platform was not inuitive or easy to use and our participants strongly disliked it. The previous platform's support team was unresponsive and unreliable. We had so many technical errors and glitches that happened that they could not fix or even help us understand why they happened. It was very frustrating and I'm glad we found something different.

Great Product!

PROS

I liked that this was user friendly and easy to set-up. The reporting was very straight forward and collected all the information that was needed. I also loved that those who created a pledge knew when they were going to be billed. The reminder emails were also great for the golfers reminding them to close their page.

CONS

I wish there were other processors besides Stripe.

"A Walk in the Park"

The superior staff at Pledge-it provided us with a user-friendly platform and outstanding customer service.

Our participants appreciated the ease of registering their team online for our annual walk. Team captains could share their team link with other donors which generated valuable funds for our mission.

CONS

We would like to be able to register multiple people using a single email address.

Reason for choosing Pledge It

Personal relationship with our Founder and your organization.

Pledge It puts the fun in fundraising with great features and a user friendly platform!

Overall, we are thrilled with Pledge It. The best part about the software is they have continued to develop a user friendly platform that has grown with the needs of their customers.

PROS

What we like most about this software is the unique ability to engage with donors through a performance based pledge system. This allows for our donors to feel more engaged in the campaign. If a donor pledges they are more interested in seeing the results because they have some skin in the game. It's fun and exciting for the donor to be involved in this way(as long as you provide a good estimate for the performance the results do not drastically outperform the estimate). Beyond a better connection with the campaign itself the software has some really incredible features built in to help the campaign managers (team captains) communicate with campaign participants and monitor their teams progress and allows participants to share highlights/updates. The software does a great job of creating a strong sense of community among its users.

CONS

The concept is unique and sometimes people shy away from the variable donation amount based on performance. Pledge It remedies the situation by providing ample explanations to ease any concerns with performance based fundraising and a clear checkout process. In addition, supporters always have the option to make a flat donation instead of pledging in case that is more comfortable for the donor.

Reason for choosing Pledge It

We chose pledge it because of the compatibility of the performance based fundraising option with our events and campaigns.

Reasons for switching to Pledge It

We made the switch to utilize the performance based fundraising option.
