When every dollar counts, the last thing your nonprofit should worry about is losing a portion of your donations to processing fees. That’s why we built something different at Pledge: a powerful, fee-free fundraising model that ensures 100% of donations (up to $1,000 each) go directly to your mission. 💜
In today’s fundraising climate — where many nonprofits are stretched thin by shrinking grants and donor fatigue — this difference is game-changing and enabling impact at scale.
🙌 What is “Free the Fee”?
Our Free the Fee model means:
- For every donation up to $1,000, Pledge covers the credit card and processing fees
- You keep 100% of the donation, every time
- Donors can choose to leave a tip to support Pledge’s operations — but we never deduct fees from your donation
💡 Real Impact: How Nonprofits Like Yours Are Benefiting
Miry’s List, a nonprofit supporting refugee resettlement families, saw a major difference after using Pledge. That’s more meals delivered. More families supported. More impact, without more overhead.
🧠 Why This Matters Right Now
As giving becomes increasingly decentralized and digital-first, your donors expect flexible, seamless ways to support your cause. Platforms like Pledge that offer no-cost, integrated, global fundraising tools are no longer a “nice to have” - they’re essential.
With Pledge, you can embed giving into:
- 🎉 Live or virtual events
- 🛍️ E-commerce shops (via our Shopify app)
- 💻 Livestreams and creator campaigns
- 💼 Corporate giving platforms
- 📱 Text-to-donate and QR code experiences
We help you meet your donors wherever they are — and ensure their gift goes further.
