PledgeStar Success Stories
HARBOR VIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
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.
KUMEYAAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
PledgeStar made fundraising effortless, not just for us,
but for our families too. It was easy to set up,
intuitive to use, and powerful in results. We raised
over $40,000 and didn’t have to give nearly half of it
away like we did before. Parents loved the simple online
system, grandparents from out of town could donate in
seconds, and we got to keep the money for what matters,
our students, teachers, and programs.
WAGON WHEEL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
PledgeStar completely transformed our jog-a-thon. What
used to raise $17,000 now brings in over $85,000,
without the need for third-party vendors taking a
massive cut. It’s incredibly user-friendly for parents
and grandparents, even those who aren't tech-savvy. All
it takes is a link and a few clicks. Volunteers love how
simple it is to manage, and the system handles
reminders, emails, and donor tracking automatically.
With just a few committee members and PledgeStar, we
were able to run a fully funded, highly successful
event, and keep 100% of the money for our school.
LOWELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
PledgeStar was a game-changer for our school. Instead of
just writing checks, families tapped into relatives and
friends across the country, and even overseas. From
first-time users to seasoned organizers, everyone found
it intuitive, fast, and surprisingly personal. We more
than doubled our fundraising, jumping from $32,000 to
nearly $60,000, and got to keep almost every dollar.
It’s efficient, secure, and makes fundraising feel easy
for everyone involved.
