Pledge Campaigns
A brief introduction to Pledge Campaigns in MinistryPlatform.
Pledge Campaigns are used to keep track of special one-time fundraising efforts. These include capital campaigns, building funds, year-end giving, and short-term mission trips. Each Pledge Campaign can have one or more Pledges, a specified amount of money that a donor has pledged to give by a certain date. Donations can be received and credited to these pledges if your Pledge Campaign and Program are configured correctly.
New vs. Existing Programs
A new program can be created for the new pledge campaign, or an existing program can be edited to be associated with the new campaign. But it is highly recommended that you use an existing program if it contains active recurring donations. It is better to edit an existing program than to ask donors to set up their recurring donations under a new program.
Multiple Programs
It's fine to have multiple programs associated with the same pledge campaign.
