Great software for non-profit fundraising events!

PROS

Our organization switched to Pledge It for its customization and user-friendly design for donors. We have been so satisfied with the switch and are excited to use the platform for additional fundraising events that we host.

CONS

One aspect that we would like to see is an ability to do an in-ticket add on for events (for example, adding an upgraded VIP experience for an event as an option within the ticket rather than a separate ticket). Otherwise, we are fully satisfied with their features.

Reasons for switching to Pledge It

Ability to brand and customize the event landing page, along with ease of use for donors.

What a fantastic experience!

I was thoroughly satisfied with the whole process of switching to PledgeIt. The expertise and knowledge of [sensitive content hidden] was pivotal in getting us set up, switched over, and through our 1st successful campaign with PledgeIt.

PROS

PledgeIt became our registration and fundraising platform in 2023. We were having difficulties with folks registering but not creating fundraising pages on the previous platform that we used. Not giving folks an option to fundraise, is my favorite function of this platform. A fundraising page is automatically created upon registration, and it can be fully customized. We didn't have any complaints about fundraising pages! My 2nd favorite thing about PledgeIt was the customer service! My questions were always answered in a timely manner, and I always felt listened to.

CONS

My least favorite thing about PledgeIt was not being able to change a registrant's ticket (even as an administrator). Changes could be made, but I had to request the change via email through PledgeIt, and then ensure that the change was made. My understanding is that a fix to this issue is in the works that will greatly improve the overall functionality of the system.

Reason for choosing Pledge It

Cost. These other products were very cost prohibitive, and PledgeIt offers everything that we needed, at the right price.

Reasons for switching to Pledge It

Users were frustrated with the fundraising page process. There was not an option available to make fundraising required, so folks would opt out of creating a page even though fundraising was not optional. This created more work on our end.

Vendor Response

Hi Kate, Thanks for the great review! You are correct we released an update so you and other administrators can now quickly edit and change the registrant's ticket type right from your admin view. Thanks for providing that feedback and congrats again on your success this year! -Dave C

Pledge It was instrumental in helping us raise over $300K in grassroots fundraising!

10/10 Stars. Hands down the most critical component of our fundraising outside our donors themselves.

PROS

Pledge It offers a unique "performance/outcome based" fundraising model that facilitates engagement between your cause, fundraising participants, and donors in a comprehensive platform. It's far beyond the typical donor/payment website. Pledge It is a game changer. And [sensitive content hidden] is the best support resource we could have asked for. :)

CONS

Honestly I can't think of anything. The Pledge It team has been introducing new capabilities and features we would never have looked for in a fundraising platform and it's amazing.

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.

Pledge It Review

Truly incredible. I HIGHLY recommend. This platform is excellent.

PROS

Pledge It was what our school was looking for when trying to find a platform that was user friendly on the development side as well as the view side for both fundraisers and events. What makes Pledge It stand out from the rest is their customer service. [sensitive content hidden] was our personnel assigned by Pledge It for our first year as we learned the platform. He was readily available and would always respond well within 24 hours. He not only helped us build out our events, but would answer questions whether we wanted to hop on a call, talk over zoom, or simply send via email a video tutorial. He would even do some of the tasks for us. We had the privilege of meeting a few other Pledge It members and all of them have the same personality: enthusiastic, helpful, attentive, and incredibly kind. The people at Pledge It is what makes this platform even better. They make it easy to learn and onboard.

CONS

I don't have many cons. My only concern is registration for families at our school with multiple kids, and re-registration for different events that our school makes. These aren't a huge deal and they were issues that the team helped solve. Other than that, I don't have cons.

Reasons for switching to Pledge It

Wasn't user friendly on the developer side. Extremely confusing. Did not have a live agent helping/assisting with questions on how to navigate this platform.
