RAISES MORE
With PledgeStar, the average student raises over $140. That’s more than any other platform. Why? Because we make it fun and easy to ask more family and friends for donations with automated emails, texts, social media, and more.
COSTS LESS
PledgeStar is built by parents of school age children who know that every dollar counts. PledgeStar charges only 7% of online donations with a cap of $995. Most organizations pay far less and many have all their fees covered making our services free!
AMAZING SERVICE
With PledgeStar, you work with a Pledge Drive Specialist dedicated to helping you squeeze every last dollar from your fundraiser. And if you need help, we’re always a quick call or email away.
