Three spots, platform-wide
The pledgix.com homepage has a "Happening now" section that features exactly three campaigns — a hard platform limit, not a setting. Every homepage visitor sees those three cards, with live totals and progress, sorted so active campaigns lead, upcoming ones follow, and finished ones close out the row. That's premium, platform-wide exposure, and it's deliberately scarce.
How a campaign gets a spot
Homepage spots are assigned by the Pledgix team. There's no self-serve toggle in your dashboard — reach out to Pledgix support (or your account contact) and ask for a homepage feature. Because there are only three spots for the whole platform, they're granted first-come: if all three are taken, a new campaign can only go up when the team frees or swaps out one of the current three. When a request comes in while the row is full, the system itself refuses to over-book — the platform enforces the cap at the database level, so there's never a fourth card quietly bumping someone.
A few things strengthen your request:
- An active, time-boxed campaign. The section is called "Happening now" for a reason — a live campaign in its push window is the natural fit.
- A public directory listing. Your campaign must be listed in the public campaigns directory (Campaign Settings → Page & Visibility). Even with a spot assigned, the homepage won't display an unlisted campaign.
- A fundraising goal. The homepage cards are built around goal progress, so a campaign without a goal amount won't render there.
Political campaigns aren't shown in the homepage section.
While you're featured
Your card displays your campaign name, imagery, and live progress, and links straight to your campaign page — the homepage becomes a real traffic source, especially during launch and final-hours windows when general-audience momentum matters most.
One thing to know: a spot doesn't free itself automatically when your campaign ends. Finished campaigns sort to the end of the row but still hold their spot until the Pledgix team swaps them out — so when your push is over, letting the team know you're done is the neighborly move that opens the stage for the next campaign.
Plan availability
Homepage featuring is available on Pledgix One and above (the Pledgix team can enable it for other campaigns on request).
Tip: Time your ask. A homepage spot during your 48-hour main push is worth far more than the same spot during a quiet middle week — when you request one, tell the Pledgix team your campaign dates so the feature lands where it counts.
