what is Pledj
from the owner...
Dear Volunteer,
If you want the most profitable fundraiser your organization has ever experienced…
And eliminate the need to do any additional fundraisers this season, then…
…this is the one fundraiser you have been waiting for!
Here’s why:
My name is Douglas and I have been in the fundraising business since 2001.
My customers are people just like you…volunteers.
I have listened to their stories about what works for fundraising.
And what doesn’t work.
Since 2001, our most successful fundraising product has been cookie dough.
However, due to the increasing costs of raw materials and fuel, it has become challenging for organizations with fewer than 100 members to achieve the necessary sales volume to generate the maximum profits and qualify for shipping discounts.
I would lay awake at night and think: “there has to be a fundraiser that works well for groups of any size.”
But it has to be a fundraiser that can raise the most funds with even less effort.”
And factor in that, today, parents and volunteers have less time than ever.
A disturbing trend is that parents have become less supportive and active in organizational activities.
You all know exactly what I am talking about, right?
In 2020, with the onset of Covid, online shopping rose to the highest levels ever.
Every online retailer was hitting record-high sales.
I knew there had to be a fundraiser that could benefit from these developing trends.
In 2021, I finally put some ideas on paper.
This was when Pledj was conceived.
I began designing this fundraiser from a volunteer’s point of view.
Sure, crowdfunding is a thing, but I knew my customers needed something even more with more bells and whistles…
and most importantly, have unlimited earning potential.
Pledj also needed to convey a personal feel.
The ability to deliver its message to potential supporters in a dynamic way.
Conclusion, it had to be more profitable and better than any other fundraiser to date.
Welcome to the era of Pledj!
Pledj guarantees to bring in more profit than any other fundraising product and even raffles.
When Pledj is paired with our game-winning strategies, there becomes no goal too high.
The best part is this:
Pledj promises to give back some of your volunteer time.
Time that could spent with loved ones or actually doing something you like.
In closing, I feel so confident that Pledj will be a game changer that I guarantee Pledj will live up to your expectations or I will double your money back.

Compare Pledj to other fundraisers
The efforts put forth for the event are commendable, but it’s important to consider the pros and cons of this venture. On the positive side, the event offers a low-cost opportunity for people to gather. However, there are significant drawbacks as well. Firstly, the event requires a full day of participation, and the profits are much lower than those of Pledj. As a volunteer, time is a valuable commodity, and participating in an event that offers little compensation may not be the most effective use of one’s time and energy.
In conclusion, it’s crucial to use time optimally as a volunteer. Participating in an event that offers low returns for a full day’s work may not be the best course of action.
Selling candy bars for a fundraiser has its ups and downs. On the upside, it’s an easy product to sell with items priced at $1-$2. On the downside, there are a few obstacles that need to be overcome. Firstly, you need to have enough funds to purchase the necessary inventory needed. Secondly, it can be difficult to guess the right amount of inventory to order so you don’t end up with too much or too little. Thirdly, you may have to micro-manage parents to turn in collected money, which can be a hassle. Fourthly, if you don’t sell all the candy bars, you may have to return the leftover inventory and pay a restocking fee. Lastly, in today’s world, not many people carry cash, which can be a challenge.
Considering the effort and risk involved, it doesn’t seem wise to pursue this fundraiser since the minimal profit of only $0.50 per candy bar is not worth the trouble.
Here are the pros and cons of using a risk-free fundraiser that provides value to its customers.
On the positive side, there is no financial risk involved and customers receive something of value.
However, on the downside, it can create a lot of work for volunteers. This includes distributing order forms to each individual, collecting order forms and money after the fundraiser is over, trying to interpret people’s handwriting on order forms, spending an entire day sorting and filling orders on delivery day, and waiting for parents to pick up their orders.
Additionally, in some cases, volunteers may need to find freezer space for orders that were not picked up.
Overall, while this type of fundraiser may be profitable, it can also be time-consuming and stressful for volunteers.
The success of the fundraiser may be forgotten if the delivery day is a headache.
Raffles are a common fundraiser method, mainly because they are easy to manage from a volunteer standpoint. However, the truth is, most people don’t really enjoy raffles and only purchase tickets as a way to support the cause. There are several drawbacks to this fundraising method, such as:
1. It is limited to the local community, as people from outside cannot participate since it requires being present in person to purchase tickets for the drawing.
2. Most people prefer to use digital payment methods, and it’s not practical for them to carry cash.
3. It can be challenging to manage the process of selling or collecting money from parents, which can be time-consuming.
4. Only a few people win, which can be discouraging for those who purchase tickets.
5. Raffles often rely on businesses to donate items to be used as prizes, which may not always be feasible.

More room to work
Imagine the difference of the entire USA being the area for your fundraiser, instead of just your local community. By expanding your selling territory, you have the potential to raise not just hundreds but thousands of dollars.
Sharing is caring
With fundraising, your organization needs every advantage it can get. Social media is the most powerful tool that will help your fundraiser earn thousands of extra dollars. Make sure your next fundraiser is equipped with a “share” button. Our sharing options are available for the most significant platforms, which makes it quick and easy to spread the word and make your Pledj-ing successful.
Raise more with cards
Based on stats, it is proven that fundraising sales show a two-fold increase when credit cards are accepted as a mode of payment. Think about it, carrying cash is becoming increasingly rare, and most people prefer the convenience of credit card transactions.
Save money, be green
Most fundraisers require the use of your own gas and time to deliver or sell them, which can be a major headache. However, with Pledj, you can save everyone’s time and fuel by eliminating the need for personal deliveries. Fundraising results are better and more efficient with Pledj. The planet says: “thank you!”

Our cookie dough fundraiser has become frustrating for teams to raise the profits they need based on a performance profit structure, plus the shipping costs that are incurred.
Realistically, only organizations with 100 or more members achieve success with our cookie dough fundraiser.
Additionally, not all members are going to participate, which can further reduce the potential profits.
That’s why our Pledj fundraiser is a great alternative for teams. With no minimums and no products to ship, it’s easy and hassle-free.”
