99Pledges review
A focused, free P2P fundraising platform for schools and youth groups.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
99Pledges is an online peer-to-peer fundraising platform for schools, sports teams, youth organizations, and nonprofits running a-thon and similar campaigns. Organizers can create group or individual fundraisers, give participants personal donation pages, and collect pledges tied to laps, minutes, hits, or other custom units. It is aimed at teams and community groups that want a focused campaign tool rather than a broad nonprofit management suite.
The Free plan has no startup costs, 0% platform fees, contracts, or subscriptions. It includes individual participant donation pages, custom fundraiser URLs, media, logos, and receipt text. Donors can pay by card, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, while organizers can also record cash and check donations. Administrative reports and leaderboards provide visibility into participation, goals, and results. Built-in participant messaging and reminders support campaign communication, and sharing is available through email, text, Facebook, and X.
The platform’s strongest fit is a straightforward activity-based campaign where organizers need participant tracking, online and offline donation records, and simple sharing in one web-based workflow. Setup assistance and fundraising support are also available. Its published positioning is narrower than a general fundraising system, and its organization coverage is centered on the United States, with limited exceptions. Groups seeking focused P2P tools for school, team, or youth campaigns should find the feature set well aligned; organizations needing a broader ecosystem or fundraising operations beyond campaign pages may prefer a different category of platform.
