Pledge Tracking: Manage Commitments and Payment Schedules

Pledge tracking

Record pledges, set payment schedules, track fulfillment, and send reminders — all from your donor CRM.
Capital campaigns, annual funds, and major gift commitments all depend on accurate pledge tracking. DonorDock lets you record pledges, define payment schedules, track payments received against commitments, and send automated reminders — so you always know where you stand.

Record and Manage Pledges

Create pledge records tied to specific donors, campaigns, or funds. Set the total commitment amount, define a payment schedule (monthly, quarterly, annual, or custom), and track each payment as it arrives. DonorDock shows the outstanding balance and fulfillment percentage at a glance.

Automated Pledge Reminders

Set up Stewardship Journeys to send friendly payment reminders before each installment is due. Personalize reminders with the donor's name, pledge amount, and remaining balance. Automated reminders reduce the burden on your team while improving fulfillment rates.

Capital Campaign Visibility

During a capital campaign, pledge tracking is essential. See total commitments vs. cash received, broken down by donor, fund, or campaign. Pull reports for board meetings that show pledge fulfillment rates, outstanding balances, and projected cash flow.

Connected to Your Full CRM

Pledges are fully integrated with DonorDock's contact records, reporting, and communication tools. When a pledge payment arrives, it is logged on the donor's timeline. When a balance is overdue, it surfaces in your ActionBoard. Every piece of data connects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I track multi-year pledges?
Yes. Create pledges with any timeframe and payment schedule — monthly, quarterly, annually, or custom installment dates over multiple years.

What happens when a pledge payment is received?
Payments are matched against the pledge, reducing the outstanding balance. Both the payment and updated pledge status appear on the donor's record.

Can I send pledge reminders automatically?
Yes. Use Stewardship Journeys to automate reminder emails before each payment is due. Customize the timing and messaging to fit your organization's tone.

I have a lot of different buckets that I work in, so when I can log into DonorDock and see, 'oh I need to be working on this and this,' that is helpful.
