School Fundraiser Pledge Form

Running a school fundraiser shouldn't mean juggling spreadsheets, paper pledge forms, and endless follow-up emails. This School Fundraiser Pledge Form template makes it easy for parents, family members, and supporters to make pledges online while automatically tracking which student and class should receive credit.

Whether you're organizing a walk-a-thon, read-a-thon, fun run, or any school fundraising campaign, this template is designed to capture all the essential information you need: donor contact details, the student they're supporting, their class or grade level, pledge amount, and preferred payment schedule.

Perfect for Schools, PTAs, and Educational Fundraisers

This form is ideal for:

• Elementary, middle, and high school PTAs and PTOs running annual fundraisers
• School administrators managing fundraising campaigns across multiple grade levels
• Parent volunteers coordinating class competitions and tracking progress
• Booster clubs and sports teams raising funds for programs and equipment
• Educational nonprofits supporting specific schools or student groups

Class Competition Tracking Made Simple

One of the standout features of this template is the ability to track which student and class each pledge supports. This makes it perfect for fundraisers with class competitions where grade levels compete to raise the most money. By collecting the student's name and class information with each pledge, you can easily generate leaderboards, send targeted updates to parents, and celebrate winning classes.

Flexible Payment Options

Not everyone can pay their full pledge amount upfront, and this form accommodates that reality. Supporters can choose between:

• One-time full payment
• Installment plans (monthly, per milestone, etc.)
• Pledge now, pay later options

This flexibility increases participation rates and makes larger pledge amounts more accessible to families with different financial situations.

Streamline Collection with Paperform Payments

Connect this form to Stripe, PayPal, or Square through Paperform to collect payments directly when pledges are made. For families who prefer to pay later or in installments, you can capture their commitment now and follow up with payment requests using Paperform's built-in email notifications.

Need to send payment reminders? Use Stepper (stepper.io) to automate follow-up emails based on the payment schedule selected, ensuring no pledge falls through the cracks without manual tracking.

Everything Syncs Where You Need It

Stop manually transferring pledge information from paper forms into spreadsheets. This template can automatically send submissions to:

• Google Sheets or Airtable for real-time leaderboards and progress tracking
• Your CRM or donor management system for record-keeping
• Email marketing tools to thank donors and send campaign updates
• Slack or team communication channels to celebrate new pledges as they come in

Friendly, Supportive Tone That Encourages Giving

The form is designed with an encouraging, community-focused tone that reminds supporters they're helping students and the school they care about. The design is clean, easy to complete on any device, and can be branded with your school colors, logo, and mascot to create a cohesive campaign experience.

Built on Paperform—trusted by thousands of educational organizations and nonprofits worldwide—this template is SOC 2 Type II compliant, secure, and ready to collect pledges from day one of your campaign.
