Problem

Schools, sports clubs and community groups still rely on paper number boards or clunky spreadsheets for fundraising. Tracking who has pledged what, chasing payments, updating totals, and showing progress in real time is manual, error-prone and hard to share. Donors lose momentum when the board isn't visible or up to date, and organisers spend hours on admin instead of raising money.

Solution

PledgeBoard is a simple digital pledge board built for Australian schools, clubs and community groups. Organisers create a visual number board in minutes, share a single link, and watch pledges update live. Donors pick a number and contribute; organisers see progress instantly. A free plan covers the basics; Premium adds secure Stripe payments with no platform cut of the donations.

How people use it

  • Create a board, set the fundraising goal and customise the look for the school or club.
  • Share the unique link via email, social media, SMS or the school newsletter.
  • Donors select available numbers and make their pledge (or pay securely on Premium).
  • Watch the board fill in real time and track progress with simple analytics.
  • Collect the funds and close the campaign when the goal is reached.

Status & outcomes

Live. Built and funded by RETSA Group.

PledgeBoard is already used by schools and clubs for real fundraising campaigns. The free plan lets groups start immediately with no credit card; Premium unlocks Stripe payments so money goes straight to the organiser's account with transparent pricing and no platform fees taken from donations.

Approach

Focused tool, not an over-engineered platform. Designed so a busy teacher, coach or volunteer can set up a board in minutes and share it without training. Visual, mobile-friendly and built around the familiar number-board format people already understand.

What PledgeBoard does not do

  • It is not a full CRM or membership system.
  • It does not handle complex multi-tier sponsorship packages or merchandise sales.
  • Organisers remain responsible for their own banking, tax and compliance obligations.
  • The free plan does not process online payments (Premium required for Stripe).
