Customer service and function was great. Pricing is my only issue, and it’s unfortunate that the cost prices out smaller non profit organizations. It would be amazing to see different membership levels for different size organizations. My overall experience is reflected in my three star review.
Pros: The user engagement from a donor perspective as well as the ability for users to support in multiple ways for events.
Cons: The cost, $150 a month is already expensive, but to also charge fees on top of this per donation is insane. Stripe makes the transactions seamless into deposits, but I’m paying $150 a month to pledge it, fees per donation to pledge it, and fees through stripe as well. The cost out weighs the benefits and I will not use this again.

The customer service at Pledge It is exceptional. They make setting up donation pages easy and have many avenues to learn the platform.
Pros: They were very easy to work with when we made the switch to Pledge It. They gave clear and concise instructions and promptly responded to questions and issues. The donations are directly deposited into our Stripe account which helps with efficiency in getting donations to our organizations.
Cons: Our organizations do not get an email stating that a donation has been made and the donation reports and a little difficult to read.

Jennifer C. · Admin Assistant · Non-Profit Organization Management · January 30, 2026
Overall, my experience with Pledge It has been very positive. The platform is user-friendly, engaging for supporters, and helpful for managing our campaigns.
Pros: I appreciated how intuitive the Pledge It platform was for both staff and supporters. It made managing campaigns straightforward and created a seamless experience for donors.
Cons: The only challenge so far has been getting fully comfortable with the reporting features, since we’re still learning our way around that area.
Hannah F. · Director of Development · Non-Profit Organization Management · November 24, 2025
Pros: As a fundraiser, my favorite aspect of pledge it is how easy it is to communicate with and cultivate participants and donors. As a participant, I love the way that pledge it tells a story!
Cons: Honestly, I don't have any major complaints. There have been other people on our team who have used pledge it in the past and they have had trouble using a screen reader with the platform. But as I don't require that disability aid, I cannot speak to that issue.
Molly A. · Volunteer Board Member · Health, Wellness and Fitness · November 7, 2025
We were able to increase fundraising from a few different events that we had run with other systems in the past.
Pros: We appreciated the prompt support and simplicity to get the events set up as well as the simplicity for the donor to make donations and check their bids in our auction
Cons: I don't love the fees that are charged to both us and the donor but do understand why they need to be in place.
Kevin M. · Executive Director · Non-Profit Organization Management · October 10, 2025
Excellent experience, as usual. [sensitive content hidden] is our contact person, and she is excellent. She responds promptly and makes everything run smoothly.
Pros: We have been using Pledge It for many years now and it's our only fundraising method. It is so easy as [sensitive content hidden] sets everything up and our players follow the instructions. The ease at which the whole campaign runs is the best part. We wouldn't use any other fundraiser, and I have shared Pledge It with other organizations in and outside our school.
Cons: I really don't have any complaints, nor can I think of any real cons. We have used other fundraising platforms, and Pledge It is the best.
Scott S. · fundraising coordinator · Sports · October 7, 2025
We use it for our participants to receive donations from friends and family. It has been a great product with excellent customer care and easy to use for all
Pros: easy to use and understand. Staff is excellent with customer care. Every time i has a question my call was returned promptly
Cons: nothing comes to mind, nothing comes to mind, nothing comes to mind, why do i have to type 100 characters.
Amy K. · director special events · Hospital & Health Care · September 30, 2025
Pros: Our Customer Success Manager - [sensitive content hidden] The people make the customer experience. [sensitive content hidden] wants us to truly be successful and is so kind and genuine in helping with questions and curveballs.
Cons: I don't have one at this time.
Ann Q. · Development Director · Health, Wellness and Fitness · September 25, 2025
The customer service has been excellent. We truly appreciate your team reaching out proactively to us each year to make sure that we are ready for the new season.
Pros: We appreciate that it enables us to get started easily with your team, recreating our teams and setting up our campaign each year.
Cons: We would love it if your tool were more applicable to our use case, because we actually have teams at both levels, and wish it were possible to have team recreation at both levels.
Matt F. · President and Founder · Non-Profit Organization Management · September 24, 2025
I can't say enough about the benefits we experienced and previously mentioned. I also appreciate PledgeIt's desire to add features that make the platform better all the time. The service, logical conversations and problem solving discussions we had regularly with [sensitive content hidden] were not just helpful but a gamechanger!
Pros: We really appreciated the client support and customer service, ease of use and ease of navigation as well as PledgeIt's continual improvement of the platform. We're a professional services organization that has now recommended this to other organizations for their clients, but our own clients to the point where we will only work with PledgeIt for new clients. They benefit from our proficiency as well as the benefits of PledgeIt.
Cons: This wasn't a negative, but it might be a benefit if we can templatize the reports we regularly generate.
Tracy P. · Project Manager · Non-Profit Organization Management · September 22, 2025
Overall a very positive experience and would recommend it for other fundraisers. The support and guidance from the staff and the ease of use for the donors make this a valuable package.
Pros: I appreciated the support from the staff and their reliable/timely communication. They were professional and very accommodating for my fundraiser.
Cons: The UI and navigating through the pages were at times confusing. However, the staff was very helpful in guiding me through using the software.
Andrew W. · Runner · Sports · September 6, 2025
From the very beginning, our experience with PledgeIt reps has been OUTSTANDING!! I have been very impressed that any product upgrades that have been suggested have always been heard, and many have been implemented, making the system even easier to use.
Pros: The person to person tech support is the biggest plus to the PledgeIt system! We have never had a prolonged delay getting answers to questions. We also love the ease-of-use for both the constituents and for the organization. Easy to follow directions.
Cons: Honestly, I can't think of a "con" for this platform. It fits our needs with all of our varous campaigns.
Shelley Y. · Executive Director · Non-Profit Organization Management · July 2, 2025
The experience was excellent. I would recommend to friends.
Pros: The ease of use and the support from the team
Cons: There is nothing that comes to mind at the moment.
Graylind W. · Chapter Fundraising Committee Chair · Non-Profit Organization Management · May 1, 2025
Pros: This was our first year using Pledge It for our annual Shamrock Splash polar plunge event, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The platform was incredibly user-friendly and easy to manage. Being able to track fundraising results across multiple locations was essential for our event, and Pledge It delivered seamlessly. It was also reassuring to know that their team was always available and responsive whenever we needed support.
Cons: They almost made it too easy! Knowing what i know now I can focus on sponsorships and fundraising for next year because Pledge It will handle the fundraising site.
Kristen B. · Deputy Executive Director · Environmental Services · April 23, 2025
Overall, it is a very good product and very user-friendly.
Pros: Pledge It is easy to use. Suzanne's support was very helpful in getting the event (campaign page) to look perfect.
Cons: The photo images (for the auction) are limited. When uploading photos sizing is difficult and phot quality sometimes gets blurred.
Brett L. · Development Director · Non-Profit Organization Management · March 11, 2025
Very satisfied with the overall product and service
Pros: I really enjoy the customer service we receive.
Cons: Maybe the cost of the service to the members is a bit high?
Mike M. · Competitive Activities Director · Non-Profit Organization Management · March 11, 2025
Pros: Great product, great support. Love the ease of use and new feature, including the raffle ticket option.
Cons: The product is very easy to use and don't find any cons with the product.
David G. · Co-Founder · Non-Profit Organization Management · March 7, 2025
Pros: We used Pledge It to launch a "polar plunge" peer to peer fundraiser in Miami Beach, where the winter water temperatures are 78°! We raised more than $40,000 with no hassles and at a very low cost. Love it! I have been running peer to peer fundraisers on multiple platforms for more than 10 years - and this is simply the best I have found. I strongly recommend it to non-profits for its ease of use, reliability. and spectacular campaign and tech support. It is a great platform and a terrific team.
Cons: Honestly, I wish we started using it sooner.
Bruce B. · Executive Director · Non-Profit Organization Management · March 5, 2025
Pros: Pledge It actually cares about what we are doing and wants to see us succeed. They understand who our organization is and who we support and are actually knowledgeable about our content. Their customer service is unmatched! You will not find folks with this level of responsiveness or knowledge anywhere else.
Cons: I would have said the cost to use them, but with the customer service I have experienced so far, I am ok to pay a little extra to get their top notch service.
Heather P. · Executive Director · Fund-Raising · December 23, 2024
Our experience with Pledge It has been nothing but great. Our agent, [sensitive content hidden], has been so incredibly helpful with setting up our page, getting us to understand the back end. We would highly recommend anyone wanting to switch to do it. We are so grateful we did!
Pros: I absolutely love the website's easy user interface and sleek look. All of our families have raved about how much easier it is to use than our last website.
Cons: We would love for Pledge It to have an Apple Pay option for donors and a way to connect to Facebook Fundraisers.
Lauren K. · Development Manager · Non-Profit Organization Management · November 26, 2024
Birdathon events have very specific requirements in a donation platform and not all peer-to-peer options allow you to do things like make a pledge per bird! Our old platform went out of business very close to our event and Pledge It helped get us up and running with a user-friendly and great looking site with less than 2 weeks notice!
Pros: Great customer support, easy to use, nice design/layout, and a great fit for birdathon events.
Cons: Supporters are not able to make a pledge per team, only to individual participants. Users frustrated by the reminder emails they received (but they also weren't following the directions and could have entered the info and stopped receiving reminders...)
Debra S. · Development, Fundraising, Marketing · Non-Profit Organization Management · November 4, 2024
It’s been a good year. We had three successful campaigns, and I look forward to next year being even better. Working with [sensitive content hidden] has been great and he’s super responsive.
Pros: Customer service, easy to use and navigate, easy to support users
Cons: I don’t have anything, as it’s all just new learning
Alisha V. · Executive Director · Non-Profit Organization Management · October 23, 2024
From start to finish, it was a smooth transition to get our events up and running and successful for clients to use!
Pros: Easy to learn! Our website looks professional and we received only positive feedback from our event supporters.
Cons: Happy to hear of some updates coming to enhance customer experiences.
Ellen G. · Development Director · Non-Profit Organization Management · October 23, 2024
Our overall experience using Pledge It over the last few year has been great ! Easy to use and build out events.
Pros: Pledge -It is a great fundraising platform for all charity events. They are always adding great new features. The customer service we receive from [sensitive content hidden] and the Pledge It team is fantastic. Always there to support and help our organization.
Cons: There are no negatives about Pledge-It that I can list. If there is something I do not understand the support team is right there to assist always and recommend ways to enhance fundraising!
Kim B. · Director of Events and Business Development · Sports · September 16, 2024
Great! The website looks great, and is really easy to create. Our fundraisers had no issues creating their pages and starting their fundraising, and each campaign as been a success.
Pros: I love working with [sensitive content hidden] our Customer Success Manager. She's always available to help us use the platform so we can raise the most funds possible. She's created tutorials and videos for our fundraisers, and is responsive to feedback. She's been really hands on, and it's been so helpful to get started and learn the ropes.
Cons: I wish it could be more dynamic with visuals - adding photo slide shows, multiple photos of various sizes, etc. We also received feedback that our donors did not like the "tip model," and preferred covering regular platform fees.
