99Pledges and GoFundMe are two of the most popular online fundraising platforms out there. Both help fundraising organizations increase the reach of their campaigns through easy online sharing, but GoFundMe’s limited free features make it hard to boost engagement. 99Pledges’ specialized features for schools, teams, and other youth groups can help make your next campaign your best one yet.
While both 99Pledges and GoFundMe offer free features for organizers, only 99Pledges is entirely free. GoFundMe’s base platform offers customizable campaign pages, social sharing tools, and communication capabilities. However, in order to conduct a true peer-to-peer campaign, users will need to invest in a GoFundMe Pro account, which starts at $299 per month and goes up from there.
In contrast, 99Pledges offers specialized peer-to-peer fundraising features at absolutely no cost. The only fee you’re responsible for is the standard credit card transaction fee, which is 3.49% + $0.49 per transaction.
Our extended free features include:
With 99Pledges, each of your participants automatically receives their own donation page that they can share with friends and family to solicit donations. Supporters are more likely to donate to an individual campaign than a faceless fundraiser, bolstering your community engagement and revenue.
GoFundMe’s free platform does not offer individual donation pages, and even the GoFundMe Pro pages require a more intensive setup. For busy schools, sports teams, and other fundraising organizations, this creates a significant obstacle.
GoFundMe’s free features only enable flat donations, which makes pledge-based campaigns complicated. 99Pledges is specifically designed for peer-to-peer campaigns like a-thon events and accepts both flat and metered donations. For example, this might look like:
One of the best parts of peer-to-peer fundraising is the healthy sense of competition it inspires among participants. While GoFundMe offers an overall fundraising thermometer, 99Pledges fundraisers can view real-time administrative reports and leaderboards to track participation and encourage participants to secure even more pledges.
Hundreds of schools, sports teams, booster clubs, and more have seen their fundraising results skyrocket once switching to 99Pledges’ free fundraising platform. In fact, our users typically double or even triple their earnings!
Our users’ success is driven by our user-friendly approach and advanced, built-in features, like:
WAIT! DO NOT submit this form if you are a PARENT or PARTICIPANT looking for an existing fundraiser. You will need to get a direct link from the organization to access the fundraiser. You can also email support@99pledges.com for help.
