Your students are about to do something hard. Fund your cause with it.
Every graduation, race, and exam in your organization is a moment families want to get behind. PledgeIRL turns it into pledges — money that only moves when your people succeed, and didn’t exist yesterday.
Write the promise once
“Graduate the academy by June 14.” Lock the deadline and the cause, or let each student personalize. One link goes to everyone.
They make it theirs
Each student signs their own promise in 45 seconds and shares their wall with family. Grandparents pledge. Nobody pays yet.
You confirm. Money moves.
On deadline day, check off who did it from one roster screen. Every confirmed promise releases its pledges to your fund at once.
Built for cohorts that finish things
The economics, in plain ink:
Launching costs nothing. Pledgers pay exactly what they pledged — nothing added. When funds reach your organization, a 12% platform fee comes out of what you receive. If nobody succeeds and nothing is raised, you owe nothing.
Your fund keeps 88% of new money, raised by your students’ proudest moments. Compare that to typical school-fundraising platforms at 20%+.
