How it works

Three simple steps. Money moves directly. No delays, no mystery.

1

Browse verified campaigns

Every campaign on PledgeFor has been personally reviewed before it goes live. We verify each organiser's identity and story. No anonymous campaigns, ever.

2

Donate securely

Pay by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. All payments are processed by Stripe — the same infrastructure used by Amazon and Google. Your card details are never stored on our servers.

3

Money reaches the organiser

Funds go directly to the campaign organiser. PledgeFor takes 0% — the only deduction is Stripe's standard card processing fee (2.9% + 30¢).
