Follow up every unpaid pledge automatically.
The applause fades, the room empties — and a third of what was pledged never arrives. PledgesDone follows up every promise with polite, persistent, one-tap-payable reminders until the pledge becomes a payment.
✓ Money goes straight to your Stripe account✓ PledgesDone never holds donor funds✓ No percentage fees
The gap where fundraisers lose the most money.
It isn’t the appeal, the venue or the auction — it’s the weeks after. Industry-average events collect around 70% of what’s pledged on the night. The missing 30% isn’t bad faith; it’s busy people and awkward, inconsistent chasing.
PledgesDone closes that gap systematically. Organisations using its automated recovery routinely collect above 95%.
A sequence donors don’t mind receiving.
Three days after the event, a gentle SMS: "Thanks for your pledge on Saturday — complete it in one tap." Most pledges convert right there. Then an email with Apple Pay and Google Pay ready. Then smart, spaced reminders until paid — stopping instantly the moment payment lands.
- Gentle SMS three days after the event — most pledges convert here
- Email with one-tap payment: no login, no forms, no friction
- Smart reminders until paid, silence the moment it is
- Reconciled automatically against the pledge in your dashboard
Your committee never chases anyone again.
No more Monday-night phone lists, no more "did anyone email the Hendersons?" The pledge dashboard shows exactly who’s outstanding and where each donor sits in the sequence — and the system does the reminding for you.
Recovered pledges go straight to your Stripe account.
Every recovered payment lands directly in your organisation’s own Stripe account and is matched to its pledge instantly. Watch "Recovered after event" climb in your dashboard — for many events it’s tens of thousands of dollars that would otherwise have quietly vanished.
Questions, answered.
When does follow-up start after our event?
The first gentle SMS goes out about three days after the event — close enough that the night is fresh, far enough to be respectful. You can adjust the cadence to suit your community.
Will donors feel hassled?
The tone is warm and grateful, the frequency is measured, and every message includes a one-tap payment link so acting takes seconds. Reminders stop instantly once the pledge is paid.
How do donors pay from a reminder?
One tap. The SMS or email link opens a checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay ready — no account, no login, no typing card numbers.
What collection rates do events see with automated follow-up?
Typically above 95% of pledged amounts, compared with an industry average of around 70% when follow-up is manual or inconsistent.
Can we see who is still outstanding?
Yes — live. Your dashboard lists every outstanding pledge, its amount, and where the donor is in the reminder sequence, so nothing is ever a mystery.
