Pledge and Pledgeling Foundation
Charitable Fundraising Platform Consent Form

 

Signing this form ensures that your organization stays visible to the donors and supporters who want to fund your mission through the Pledge platform.

About This Form
Hawaii (HRS §467B-2.3H, effective July 1, 2026) and similar laws in other states require charitable fundraising platforms to obtain affirmative written consent from a charitable organization before using its name in connection with charitable solicitations (including, for example, donor-initiated giving facilitated through the platform). This applies regardless of where your organization is based, so long as it may receive donations through the Pledge platform from donors or fundraisers in any state where such consent is required. This form is intended to satisfy those requirements.

Parties
This consent agreement is between the Organization (as identified below), Pledgeling Technologies, Inc., doing business as Pledge ("Pledge"), and Pledgeling Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity acting as a donor-advised fund. It must be completed and signed by an officer, director, trustee, or person duly authorized to act on the Organization's behalf (the "Authorized Representative"). By doing so, they bind the Organization to the terms of this consent agreement.

Consent Grant
The Organization grants:

1. To Pledge, the written consent required by applicable state law, including HRS §467B-2.3H, to:
   1. List and display the Organization's name, logo, and publicly available mission statement in Pledge's charity directory and on its donation forms where donors select the recipients of their grants;
   2. Enable donations to the Organization through Pledge, including donations initiated by donors or third-party fundraisers who have designated the Organization as a beneficiary; and
   3. Display the Organization's name and logo as the grant recipient in Pledgeling Foundation's emailed donation receipts;
2. To Pledgeling Foundation, the written consent required by applicable state law, including HRS §467B-2.3H, to collect and disburse charitable funds raised through the Pledge platform.

The activities above are subject to Pledge's terms and fee disclosures at https://www.pledge.to/terms, which Pledgeling Foundation has adopted by reference.

Withdrawal of Consent
The Organization may withdraw consent at any time by emailing written notice to legal@pledgeling.com. Pledge will confirm receipt by email within two business days; if no confirmation is received within that period, the Organization should contact Pledge via https://help.pledge.to to verify delivery. Notice is effective upon such confirmation, after which Pledge will remove the Organization from its charity directory and Pledgeling Foundation will stop accepting donations for regrant to the Organization, each within five business days. Withdrawal does not affect donations already collected and designated for regrant to the Organization.

Good Standing Representation
The Organization represents, to the best of the Authorized Representative's knowledge, that it is not currently prohibited from soliciting charitable contributions in any state where it operates. If this “good standing” status changes, the Organization will provide notice within five business days by emailing legal@pledgeling.com.

Authorized Representative Signature
By signing below as the Authorized Representative, I certify that I am authorized to act on the Organization's behalf and that the information provided in this form is accurate. By signing electronically, I agree that my electronic signature is legally binding to the same extent as a handwritten signature.
