What You Raise
PledgeStar gives your team two ways to fundraise. Set up your youth sports fundraiser in minutes and pay nothing to use PledgeStar, keeping everything raised minus standard credit card processing fees. During checkout, supporters can optionally add a small contribution to help keep the platform free.
Prefer to keep your current PledgeStar plan? Let donors optionally cover both platform and processing fees instead, capped at 7% (up to $1,195), so 100% of every gift goes toward uniforms, travel, and gear.
