PledgeStar Success Stories
Natalie Corner
I have used Pledgestar for the past two years. I have
family all over the world and was able to get pledges
within 24 hours after setting up.
Rebecca Corbin
I like the little alert that you got when people pledge,
so I had a really good picture of who was pledging and
how much money we earned.
Sharon MacDougal
PledgeStar is an amazing tool; it does everything for
you. You simply upload your contacts and voila, the
money starts coming in!
Becky Galapoe
I implemented Pledge Star three years ago. Your product
has been amazing! This year’s upgrade with links on
Facebook has been phenomenal in raising funds!
Kumeyaay Elementary Parent
We researched a number of vendors and we thought
PledgeStar was really easy to use, they were really
responsive, the staff is really great with help.
Carrie Robins
Last year we went with (competitor) and we had to give
49% of our profit away, and this year (with PledgeStar)
we get to take it all.
