Pledge It Basics

Learn more about performance-based fundraising, how it works, and why our team supports you throughout your entire fundraising experience.

What is Pledge It?

Pledge It is the leading online performance based fundraising platform. Performance based fundraising empowers athletes to raise money for their team or charity through their performance on the field. Fans can pledge any dollar amount for every touchdown, goal, or point scored, and then at the end of a game those pledges turn into donations directly benefiting the fundraising cause. Our mission is to make fundraising more fun and engaging for everyone involved. We believe donations should be earned, not given. Our athletes know every time they score, they are earning donations for their team's fundraising goals.

How does Pledge It work?

Pledge It is a performance based fundraising platform. It’s an easy way for teams and athletes to create powerful and engaging fundraisers in a matter of minutes. It works by letting you leverage a relationship with a team or athlete, and then creating a fundraiser where your supporters can donate by pledging dollars for a team or athlete’s performance. It allows you to customize your fundraiser with photos, videos, and a personal message, and makes it incredibly easy to share your fundraiser with your supporters. Once you launch your fundraiser, the team and athlete just needs to play the game they love and then your pledges automatically turn into donations that benefit your favorite cause.

Is it free to create a fundraiser on Pledge It?

Yes, it is free to create a fundraiser and there are no restrictions on who can create a fundraiser. Any type of team, athlete, or individual can launch a fundraiser with us. There are no fees to create a campaign, no obligations or commitments, and you can launch your campaign whenever it’s ready.
