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.

A green circle in the middle is labeled "Pledge Campaigns", four blue circles representing pledge goals labeled "budget", "child sponsorship", "capital fundraising", and "missionaries" are connected and surround the center Pledge Campaigns circle, and two orange circles representing third-party donations labeled "mission trips" and "memorials" are connected and surround center Pledge Campaigns circle. The asterisk next to "mission trips" and "memorials" notes at the bottom: "Any pledge goal can be met with donations from a third party including the pledging donor's spouse, brokerage, business or foundation. However, donations made towards a memorial or mission trip pledge will primarily come from third parties".
