Advice and answers from the 99Pledges team

Payment & Donations

99Pledges is free to use for every organization — $0 startup cost, $0 platform fee. There is a 3.49% + $0.49 transaction fee on each donation, which 99Pledges deducts automatically from your funds at the end of your fundraiser.

We process payments within one business day of your request (check via mail or bank direct deposit). In some cases, a minimal delay may occur to protect against fraud.
No. You keep 100% of cash and check donations, and we’ll even help you track them for free.
It’s simple! Your donors make their gifts online via participants’ personal donation pages. We accept credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal.

Campaign Setup

We can set them up for you! There are three setup methods; ideally, you’ll send us an Excel file with each participant’s name, parent email(s), and group name. However, we can also make your pages with just participants’ names and groups, or parents can add their child to the fundraiser using the “Add Me” function.
Think of it like this: do you think Grandma is more likely to donate to her granddaughter Sally, or to a general donation page? Plus, these pages encourage kids to engage in some healthy competition by tracking their progress, leading to more donations.
Some groups ask for permission, but most use an opt-out approach. They send out a message explaining the program and asking parents to let them know if they do not want to participate.

Privacy & Security

Yes, we take your privacy extremely seriously. We will not send any marketing materials to the emails you provide, nor will we share your email addresses or system information with any third parties.

Yes! 99Pledges is compliant with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) because we do not gather any information directly from children under 13. We also protect your kids’ privacy by allowing you to codify their classroom group, referring to them only by their first name and last initial, and ensuring that school and student fundraising pages can only be found by someone with a direct link.
