Can family and friends pay by check instead of using a credit card online?

Yes. Family and friends who elect to pay by check will be sent "pay by check" instructions. PledgeStar will even send them a reminder if they forget to send the check.

Since PledgeStar knows the check is coming, it makes it easy for you to confirm receipt. It also automatically splits the money evenly between participants in the same family.

Checks typically account for 17% of the donations received through PledgeStar. Of course, credit card processing fees do not apply to donations made by check.

We have three children. Will our family and friends get an email from each child?

No. PledgeStar sends a single pledge request for all the participants in your family. Donations to families with multiple participants get split evenly.

Example: For your two participating children, your family and friends receive a single pledge request, and a $60 donation gets split $30 per child.

What do you do with the data you collect?

PledgeStar does not use or disclose data collected on the website in any way beyond what is needed to email pledge requests, collect donations, send notifications, and provide reports.

Is online payment information secure?

Absolutely! PledgeStar uses industry standard SSL encryption to ensure credit card information can't be seen over the Internet, and it never stores credit card data internally.

Who do event staff, parents, and their families and friends contact for help?

PledgeStar provides toll-free support to parents and their family and friends. You may email questions to support@pledgestar.com or call (888) 598-7510.
