Pledgeling Modernizes Philanthropy as Zoom's New Charitable Giving Partner, Delivers First Zoom App for Donations


Pledgeling, a leading charitable donations and crowdfunding platform, is teaming up with Zoom Video Communications, Inc. on charitable giving, becoming the first to launch a charitable donations application in the Zoom App Marketplace, called Donations by Pledgeling. This move ushers in the next evolution of philanthropy by making it easy for Zoom users to fundraise seamlessly within their Zoom events, allowing hosts to choose from over two million organizations to support, including nearly every 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the U.S. and hundreds of thousands of verified international charities. Pledgeling is also powering donations for OnZoom, Zoom's new online events marketplace, which was announced at Zoomtopia 2020, empowering attendees of OnZoom events to make donations to verified nonprofits before, during, and after the event.

"We believe the momentous shift to virtual events will become a permanent part of our lives and enables us to reach and engage with nearly anyone, anytime," said Pledgeling CEO James Citron. "The power of the Donations by Pledgeling application is now every event on Zoom ? from birthdays to religious events to charity galas ? can seamlessly add charitable donations and achieve greater impact. Our collaboration unlocks a sizable new fundraising channel for nonprofits, a new way for donors to engage with their favorite causes and ultimately, the funds that can be directed to create a better world for us all."

The free app transforms any Zoom meeting or webinar into a real-time fundraiser, featuring dynamic overlays that include live calls to action, a donation tracker, and donations as they are made. Setup is simple and links your Pledgeling fundraiser to your Zoom account. Pledgeling handles everything else, from processing and disbursing donations to the beneficiary organizations, to issuing immediate donation receipts for tax purposes.

OnZoom

Pledgeling teamed up with Zoom to launch charitable donations on OnZoom, Zoom's one-of-a-kind online event platform. Hosts using OnZoom can grow their businesses, expand their reach into new audiences, and give back through charitable donations seamlessly embedded into their online events. Zoom users can discover OnZoom events and sign up for new experiences with additional functionality like gifting tickets and an attendee dashboard to keep tabs on favorite events and brands.

Highlighted by Zoom Founder and CEO Eric S. Yuan during the opening keynote at Zoomtopia, Pledgeling powered fundraising for the launch of the Zoom Cares and throughout the two-day virtual conference across multiple presentations. Pledgeling was featured prominently in the Best of Zoom Marketplace & SDK Showcase on Wednesday, October 14.

"The opportunity to engage our global community by making a real difference is squarely aligned with our mission here at Zoom to deliver happiness. Through this collaboration with Pledgeling, Zoom delivers happiness in one of the most personal ways ? supporting the causes and organizations worldwide that people truly care about, both locally and globally," said Zoom Chief Marketing Officer Janine Pelosi. "As charities search for new avenues for fundraising, Pledgeling opens up new pathways toward world-changing impact, delivering a virtual solution that is both free and scalable."

On Wednesday, October 21, from 4 to 5 p.m. ET, Pledgeling will host its own OnZoom "AMA" event, Ask Me Anything: How to maximize donations through virtual fundraisers.

In what has shaped up to be a transformative year of growth for Pledgeling, here is a roundup of recent milestones.
