What is Pledgix Go?

Pledgix Go is the free way to fundraise on Pledgix. You launch a simple, beautiful campaign page in minutes, Pledgix charges a 0% platform fee, and everything runs under the same nonprofit umbrella as Pledgix One — no merchant application, no paperwork.

How can it be free?

Go takes nothing from the donations themselves. Instead, at checkout your donors are invited to add a small optional tip to Pledgix — the same way other free fundraising sites keep the lights on:

• The tip is suggested as a small percentage, and the donor can change it or choose not to add one at all — declining is always one tap away.
• The tip is charged on top of the donation, never taken out of it. It does not appear in your campaign total, and it is never part of your payout.
• Standard payment-processing fees are charged separately by the payment processor, as with every plan.

Tax-deductible, handled for you

Just like Pledgix One, Go is fiscal sponsorship: donations are made to Pledgix Charitable Fund Inc., a registered 501(c)(3), and granted to your cause. Donors automatically receive a tax receipt with a unique receipt number, and payments, payouts, and chargebacks are handled by Pledgix.

What's included

• A public campaign page with your own web address and a real-time donation thermometer
• One campaign photo and your story
• Teams with their own pages
• Automated donor tax receipts
• A campaign dashboard with your goal progress and recent donations

What Go doesn't include

Go keeps the essentials and leaves the growth tools to Pledgix One:

• One gallery image — no additional photos and no campaign video
• No story translations — your page runs in a single language
• No bonus (stretch) goal
• No custom quick amounts — donors see the platform's default suggested amounts
• No public team signup and no team donation alerts
• No Analytics section — no dashboards, reports, or exports
• No recurring donations, donation tiers, or AI design and story tools
• Telephone system: dedicated number only — a Go campaign can take phone donations, but only through a purchased dedicated number; the free shared line with a campaign PIN is a Pledgix One feature

Tip: These are the plan defaults. The Pledgix team can adjust feature access for an individual campaign on request — see Why don't I see a feature?

Starting a Go campaign

Go is fully self-serve. Open My Campaigns, click New Campaign, and choose Go on the model selection step. Your campaign launches instantly — no approval needed. See Creating your first campaign for the full walkthrough.
