Pledje Fundraising Solutions facilitates the public's ability to donate to campaigns ("Donors") and contribute directly to Charities.

Pledje acts as an administrative platform, facilitating donation transactions between Organizations/Charities and users. We do not endorse campaigns, and we do not guarantee a specific amount of donations for any campaign. You, as a donor, must determine the value and appropriateness of contributing to a campaign or Charity.

We do not verify the information provided by Organizations/Charities, and we do not guarantee that donations will be used in accordance with applicable laws.
