Spreadsheets aren’t made for your donor’s largest commitments - Pledges now available in Fundraise Up

When a donor commits to a multi-year pledge — for a capital campaign, an annual appeal, a High Holiday commitment, or a stewardship drive — that commitment usually begins on paper. A pledge card gets filled out at an event or in a pew, or a number gets typed into a spreadsheet after a phone call. From there, staff carry the burden of keeping the commitment alive: setting reminders, following up by phone or email before each installment is due, and reconciling payments by hand against a donation platform that has no record of the pledge itself.
