GLAD by MinistrySaaS
Pledge Campaigns

Track pledges, not guesses.

Every pledge names a fund, an amount, and a timeframe, and fulfillment is computed live from your real giving ledger — never a separate total that drifts. Donors track their own progress from the portal; staff can enter a paper pledge card on anyone's behalf.

Everything a pledge campaign actually needs

Not a spreadsheet next to your giving reports: pledges that live on the same fund and the same ledger as everything else.

Per-fund pledges with a real timeframe

A pledge names an amount, a fund, and a start and end date, with an optional frequency — weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual, or one-time — noting how the donor intends to pay it down.

Fulfillment computed live, never stored

GLAD doesn't keep a separate running total for a pledge. Every time it's viewed, fulfillment is summed straight from the real giving ledger for that donor and fund, so the number on screen can never fall out of sync with what actually came in. That ledger is the same one behind recurring donations and tax receipts on the online giving page.

A donor self-service portal

Congregants make and track their own pledges from the member portal: choose a fund, set an amount, timeframe, and frequency, and watch real-time progress against every pledge they've made.

Staff entry for paper pledge cards

Not every pledge starts online. Staff can record a pledge on a giver's behalf from the admin panel — the same commitment card collected at a kickoff Sunday, entered once and tracked the same way as a self-service pledge.

Public campaign goals

Give any fund a goal amount and a goal year, and choose to show it publicly. Turn it on and a live progress bar can appear on your church's website through the page builder.

One platform, one price

Pledges reference the same fund and the same giving ledger as your accounting and donor records — not a bolt-on campaign tool with its own login and its own export. One flat rate covers all of it.

Pledges are part of the platform, not a separate product

Plenty of church software treats a pledge campaign as an add-on, a separate app, or a spreadsheet next to giving. In GLAD, a pledge is tied to the same fund and the same giving ledger from day one — one plan, one login, one number everyone trusts.

Frequently asked questions

Live, every time. GLAD sums the actual giving-ledger entries for that donor and fund between the pledge's start and end dates and shows the result as ‘received.’ There's no separate stored total to fall out of sync — the number you see is always a live read of the real giving history.

Yes. Any giving fund can carry a goal amount and a goal year, and you choose whether to display it publicly. Turn it on and a live progress bar can appear on your church's website through the page builder.
No. It's part of the same platform as your giving, accounting ledger, and donor records, at one flat rate — a pledge references the same fund and the same giving ledger as everything else in GLAD.
