Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How can a booster club save volunteer time when running a fundraiser?
PledgeStar automates many fundraising tasks, including participant registration, donor outreach, reminders, donation tracking, and reporting. This reduces administrative work and gives the booster club more time to focus on its fundraising goals.
Can a booster club see fundraising progress in real time?
Yes. PledgeStar provides real-time fundraising information so booster club organizers can monitor donations and participant progress while the campaign is running. Organizers use the platform's reports to monitor fundraiser performance.
Can booster clubs accept checks and online donations in the same fundraiser?
Yes. PledgeStar supports online donations as well as offline payments by check and cash. Organizers record offline pledges in the platform alongside online donations, giving the booster club one place to track fundraising activity regardless of how supporters choose to pay.
Can booster clubs customize fundraising messages for different teams or activities?
Yes. PledgeStar allows organizers to create the fundraising message participants use when contacting donors. This lets a booster club tailor messaging to a specific team, activity, event, or fundraising campaign while still giving families the option to personalize their individual requests.
