Nonprofit Pledge Form Template

A pledge is a statement of intention, not money received. This SurveyLegend example makes the purpose and next step explicit so a nonprofit can follow up respectfully without counting a promise as a donation.

Use it when a named nonprofit has a real follow-up and payment process. If the goal is to understand existing donors’ experience rather than invite a pledge, use donor feedback . Replace the fictional campaign before collecting real responses.

This example concerns a fictional neighborhood garden fundraiser. It is a demonstration only: answering it does not create an actual pledge or transfer money. All questions are optional. Do not enter real names, email addresses, payment details, or bank information in the example survey.

Replace the fictional campaign with an approved, specific purpose and a truthful description of how pledges are recorded, revised and followed up. A live pledge form needs an authorized contact method and privacy notice; collect contact details only in the nonprofit’s configured secure flow, not in the public demo. If actual amounts are needed, configure currency and input validation for the intended market; the example uses bands only.

Copy this prompt into an AI assistant to draft the questions. Review the draft, then build and customize the survey in SurveyLegend before sharing.

Keep interest, indicative amount and reminder preference separate. Group open-ended data into information needs and follow-up concerns. Report pledges separately from money received; do not project revenue by adding selected bands or assume an answer creates a contractual obligation.

A 2018 University of Copenhagen field experiment reported that “The firmer the pledge, the more closely the amount donated matches the amount that was pledged”. The pledge research also found that many people declined to pledge. This suggests leaving room for uncertainty and tracking follow-through separately. Its findings do not mean this illustrative questionnaire will increase donations.
