Feature Overview: Pledges

Pledges are commitments made by donors to contribute a specific amount of money to your nonprofit or fundraising campaign at a later date. Unlike immediate donations, pledges allow donors to spread their contributions over time or fulfill them in the future. This feature is a valuable tool in fundraising, enabling you to secure long-term support and deepen donor relationships.

 

Here are some benefits of enabling pledges:

  • Predictable Revenue: Pledges provide nonprofits with a clearer picture of future income, aiding in better financial planning and budgeting.

     

  • Increase in Contributions: Donors may commit to giving more when payments are spread over time.

     

  • Stronger Relationships: The ongoing nature of pledges fosters sustained engagement between your organization and its supporters.

     

  • Flexible Options: Pledges accommodate donors who wish to give but may not be able/want to contribute the total intended amount immediately.

 

Feature Availability

This feature is available to all users with access to the Fundraising Essentials package with 'Supervisor'-level administrative access within 'Donor Management'.
