In this economy, relying on a single or traditional fundraising strategy just doesn’t cut it anymore. 📉
Gone are the days when one campaign or one giving method could fuel your mission. Today’s most resilient nonprofits are thinking like diversified businesses - expanding how and where they accept donations to build long-term stability.
The good news? With Pledge, it’s not only possible, it’s easy (and free). 💜
More giving options = more revenue, more resilience.
Here’s how your nonprofit can start diversifying now, without hiring more staff or increasing overhead.
1️⃣ Accept More Donation Types Than Ever Before 💳
Let donors give their way. Provide options and meet them where they’re at.
With Pledge, your organization can accept:
- 💸 Venmo, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH
- 📈 Crypto, stock, and donor-advised funds (DAFs)
- 💳 Debit, credit cards, and even wire transfers
11+ donation methods in one place on your Pledge widget, so your supporters can give in the way that works best for them.
On the backend, Pledge does the heavy lifting and sends the donations directly to your nonprofit. It’s all available to you in real-time, transparently, and easy to integrate with other platforms you’re already using.
💡 Spotlight: First Tee Triangle expanded their giving options with crypto, stock, and DAFs, which opened up high-value gifts from new and existing donors!
2️⃣ Unlock Corporate Matching Gifts 🤝
Every fundraiser on Pledge includes built-in corporate matching tools. Seriously!
That means donations can be matched at the point of donation, making it more likely their gift is completed and larger in size, without any additional work for you.
💡 Spotlight: Miry’s List saw a surge in giving by adding a match sponsor! Donors gave more when they knew their gift would be doubled.
3️⃣ Partner with Companies on Cause Campaigns 🏢
Want to build recurring revenue from corporate partners? It’s one of the fastest growing revenue opportunities for charities - and we’ve made it easier than ever!
Pledge makes it simple with:

4️⃣ Let Donors Choose Their Path 🛤️
Today’s donors expect choice and transparency. To capture a donor in the moment when they feel compelled to give, your giving options must be seamless, reliable, easy, and mobile-optimized.
By allowing supporters to give in their preferred way, you:
✅ Increase trust
✅ Boost conversion rates

Use “give your way” messaging to empower your donors - and watch what happens! No need to limit yourself to credit and cash donors. Pledge provides 11 different giving options on your free Pledge widget to engage new donor audiences in the most modern and effective ways.
