99Pledges
99Pledges is free web-based fundraising software for schools, teams, youth organizations, and nonprofits running a-thon events. Organizers can create a fundraiser in minutes or have 99Pledges set one up for free. Each participant receives an individual donation page shareable by email, text, Facebook, and X. Donors can pay by credit or debit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, while organizers can record cash and check donations. Real-time reports track participation, leaderboard rankings, and progress toward goals. After an event ends, funds are sent within one business day. Organizations receive a dedicated fundraising coach, and live chat typically responds within minutes. The 99Pledges plan costs nothing, with no contracts, subscriptions, or fundraising minimums, but charges 3.49% + $0.49 per transaction. The service is limited to organizations in the United States, except for U.S. military-based schools abroad. 99Pledges says Braintree handles payments as a Level 1 PCI DSS compliant provider and that it follows COPPA requirements for children’s privacy.
