Hello everyone, we are excited to announce that our Pledges feature has been completed and available for all customers! 🎉 You are now able to create a pledge, associate it with a contact, and create a payment link that allow donors to easily fulfill online.
- Instantly log pledged donations, matching gifts, and sponsorships as they are pledged, documenting key details of the commitment like timeline, amount, and notes.
- Collect 100% of promised donations with straightforward payment links that allow donors to easily pay online or link an existing transaction.
- Track outstanding pledges, see the sum of outstanding and future donations.
- Send personalized reminders and establish flexible payment installments, ensuring donors fulfill their commitments with ease.
To create a pledge, navigate to Transactions and switch to the Pledges tab above the table. Select + Add pledge and customize all the necessary details.

Elaine Makikalli This is so exciting - thank you for this new feature!
Is there an option for a donor to create their own pledge from the campaign link? Or is this only an internal feature?
I'm thinking of our annual gala in the spring, where we have attendees pledge throughout the night. We've used JotForm to gather those pledges in the past, and would love to have them use Givebutter instead!

Amy Ford Hi there, this feature currently does not include the ability to create a pledge as a donor. However, we already have a feature request open here if you'd like to upvote it! https://community.givebutter.com/raise/p/allow-donors-to-create-and-manage-their-pledge
We look forward to improving this feature, thank you for your feedback!

Elaine Makikalli Are pledges part of the Plus subscription or for all users? I wasn't clear about this.
Kevin Replinger
David Sadowsky: thanks for the question, David! Pledges are available to all customers. You should have access to them via the Transactions page without a Plus trial or subscription.

Elaine Makikalli I attended the spread yesterday but i don't see where a pledge per unit can be implemented. This feature would be great for peer-to-peer fundraisers such as hike/bike/walk-a-thons. Pledgeit.org is one of the products I found that implements this. Ideally, the fundraiser identifies how many miles they intend to complete and people donate to that. It give them a feeling that they must earn it.

I love this idea, especially if I can add the pledge manually (for example, after I speak to them on the phone).
Then perhaps there's a follow-up button that sends them an email (sort of like an invoice, but more personal) for them to pay their pledge when they're ready.
Maybe there's even a filter or dashboard for "Unfulfilled Pledges" that shows me who I need to follow-up with.

Want to do a :bikeathon" type fundraiser where people donate $ per mile, that type of think. No website or app seems to have this feature. Givebutter could help many groups with this.
