99Pledges vs. Get Movin’

99Pledges’ Easy, Engaging Campaigns

For schools looking to host an easy, engaging fundraiser, 99Pledges and Get Movin’ Fundraising are two of the most popular fundraising platforms available. Users of both platforms love the simplicity and high profit margins of these tools.

However, if you want to host an exceptional “a-thon” fundraising event like a Walk-a-thon, Read-a-thon, or Fun Run, you need the expanded capabilities of 99Pledges. With 99Pledges, you can launch a campaign in minutes that looks and runs like it was designed by a pro.

Host Your Most Engaging Fundraiser Yet with 99Pledges

Both 99Pledges and Get Movin’ focus on peer-to-peer events. These campaigns are community-based, highly profitable, and encourage good habits like physical fitness, reading, and giving back to the community. However, the Get Movin’ platform lacks the necessary features to optimize these campaigns.

Host a better fundraiser with 99Pledges through:

Pledge Donations

With Get Movin’, students can only accept flat donations on their fundraising pages. This approach takes away what makes peer-to-peer fundraising special: the pledges!

99Pledges powers pledge-based fundraisers, which offer benefits like:

  • Increased motivation and fun: Activity-based donations amp up the fun factor of peer-to-peer events by encouraging supporters to engage more actively in your fundraiser. For example, a donor who pledged to donate $0.10 for every minute their friend is on the dance floor during a Dance-a-thon is more likely to remain invested in the outcome of the fundraiser after they make their donation.
  • Fuel healthy competition: Peer-to-peer events encourage participants to collect the most pledges possible. What’s great about these campaigns is that fundraising success is determined by both donors and participants. For example, a bookworm might not receive as many pledges, but they can still make a big impact through their performance in a Read-a-thon.
  • Drive revenue growth: Did you know that pledge-based campaigns can raise over 20% more than flat donation fundraisers? It’s true! Supporters are excited to pledge more when their gift is tied to the performance of their participant.

 

99Pledges allows you to accept both flat donations and activity-based pledges (per minute, per lap, per hit). For example, in a Fun Run, you can accept donations based on the time or distance a participant runs. Similarly, Read-a-thon participants can log the minutes they spend reading.

Individual Donation Pages

With 99Pledges, each of your participants automatically receives their own donation page. Participants receive a custom link to their dedicated page, which they can share with friends and family via text, email, and social media to start collecting donations. Supporters are more likely to donate to an individual campaign than a faceless fundraiser, bolstering your community engagement and revenue.

 

Get Movin’ offers individual donation pages, but requires parents to take on the burden of creating them. For busy schools, sports teams, and other fundraising organizations, this creates a significant obstacle.

Gamification

With 99Pledges, you can track and share individual and group progress in real time to make fundraising a fun and competitive experience. Displaying live campaign statistics fuels healthy competition among participants and motivates them to keep securing pledges, boosting your revenue. To further incentivize participants, consider offering prizes to your top earners!

Why 99Pledges Campaigns Raise 2–3x More

When schools switch to 99Pledges’ free fundraising platform, the results speak for themselves. On average, our users double or triple their earnings thanks to online donations and expanded reach.

Additionally, unlike Get Movin’ Fundraising, we’ll never charge a platform fee. By contrast, Get Movin’ charges users a 5% platform fee unless they can get a significant portion of their donors to accept a 15% upcharge on their donations. 99Pledges also operates on donor tips, but we make it easy for supporters to opt out.

Our users’ success is driven by our user-friendly approach and advanced, built-in features, like:

Automated Communications

99Pledges automatically sends donors tailored communications, including customized donation receipts and thank-you emails. Simple gestures of stewardship like these keep your donors coming back to your campaign year after year.
