Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about RunPledge
Each student gets a unique pledge link. Families share this link with friends and family via text, email, or social media. Donors click the link, enter a donation amount, and pay securely with any credit or debit card. The whole process takes less than 60 seconds!
Funds are deposited directly to your connected bank account through Stripe. Payouts typically begin within 7 days of each donation, and may arrive faster as your account establishes history with Stripe. No waiting for checks or manual processing!
Premium tier customers are guaranteed to net at least $10 per participant (minimum 50 participants required). If your fundraiser falls short, we'll make up the difference. It's our commitment that your color run will be a financial success!
No problem! Download your participant links as a CSV from your dashboard and distribute them however works best - printed flyers, text messages, classroom apps like ClassDojo or Remind, or word of mouth. The links work the same regardless of how they're shared.
Nope! There are no contracts, no commitments, and no upfront fees. You can cancel anytime. We believe in earning your business with great results, not locking you into agreements.
Absolutely! Each participant has their own unique link, so grandparents can easily donate to multiple grandchildren, and family friends can support several kids. Each donation is tracked separately on the leaderboard.
On every tier, processing fees are covered by the donor at checkout, on top of their gift, so nothing is deducted from your donations. On the Free tier, that's 3.2% + $0.40 per donation. On Premium, it's a platform fee of up to 10%. Either way, your school receives the full donation amount.
