Pledges that chase themselves.

A pledge that nobody is chasing ages into "unrecoverable." DonorForge schedules the installments, sends the reminders, and reconciles each gift against the pledge it satisfies, so the balance is always real.

Pledges are where a lot of nonprofit revenue quietly disappears. A capital campaign or a synagogue’s annual commitment is recorded once, then forgotten, and the balance on the books stops matching what is actually collectible.

DonorForge makes pledges a first-class object: schedule the installments, automate the bill-pay reminders, apply forgiveness rules when appropriate, and let incoming gifts reconcile against the pledge automatically.

What you get6 capabilities
  • 01

    Scheduled installments

    Break a pledge into an installment schedule — monthly, quarterly, annual, or custom — so the commitment is tracked as a series of expected gifts, not a single forgotten line.

  • 02

    Automated bill-pay reminders

    DonorForge sends installment reminders on schedule, so pledges are chased automatically instead of aging into unrecoverable.

  • 03

    Reconciliation against gifts

    Incoming gifts apply to the pledge they satisfy, so the outstanding balance always reflects what is actually still owed.

  • 04

    Forgiveness rules

    Write down or forgive a pledge when circumstances change, with the adjustment reflected in reporting rather than left as a phantom receivable.

  • 05

    Public pledge payment page

    Donors can pay a pledge installment on a public page without logging in, and the payment reconciles back to the pledge automatically.

  • 06

    On the donor record and in reports

    Pledges live on the donor’s record and roll into board-ready reports, so leadership sees committed-versus-collected without a spreadsheet.

Yes. A pledge can be broken into a monthly, quarterly, annual, or custom installment schedule, and each installment is tracked as an expected gift.
Does DonorForge remind donors about pledge payments?
Yes. Automated bill-pay reminders go out on the installment schedule, so pledges are chased automatically rather than aging into "unrecoverable."
How do pledge balances stay accurate?
Incoming gifts reconcile against the pledge they satisfy, and forgiveness rules let you write down a pledge when circumstances change, so the outstanding balance always reflects what is genuinely still owed.
Can donors pay a pledge online?
Yes. There is a public pledge payment page where a donor can pay an installment without logging in, and the payment reconciles back to the pledge automatically.
