Why Choose PledgeAthon

Zero Platform Fees + TipShare

Zero platform fees on donations — just standard Stripe card processing. Plus we share 10% of donor tip proceeds (after standard payment processing) back with your organization. No other platform does this.

Easy Sharing + QR Codes

Every participant gets a unique donation page with a QR code. Donors share via text, email, or social after donating.

Fast Stripe Payouts

Direct deposits to your bank via Stripe on their standard payout schedule — no waiting until the fundraiser ends.

Credit Card, Apple Pay & Google Pay

Every way to pay. One-tap donations from any phone.

SMS Alerts for Organizers

Get notified the moment a donation comes in. We text you, not your donors.

Your Donor List, Your Data

Export donor details to CSV anytime. Anonymous donations appear as "Anonymous" with private fields blanked. Your list, to keep forever — for next year's campaign, thank-you cards, or anything else.
