Built for speed and polish — so the document is done before you would have finished formatting the first page.
The Annual Fund, On One Card
Org and campaign header, donor contact block, amount tiers, frequency choices, designation, tax note, signature — the complete ask in a format a donor finishes at a gala table.
Monthly Giving, Front and Center
Sustainer programs live on the frequency row — a monthly checkbox beside the one-time gift, clearly worded ('$25 per month for 12 months — a $300 pledge'), never pre-checked.
Your Tax Language, Verbatim
Supply your 501(c)(3) or EIN wording and it prints as one quiet line near the signature — receipt-ready, never invented, never a banner.
Tiers With Labels That Belong
Friend, Builder, Founder — optional tier labels that turn checkboxes into belonging. Your real amounts, your real labels, plus the other-amount write-in.
Mailer and Event Formats
Half-letter two-up for appeal mailers and inserts, full-letter for gala tables and board packets. Light stock, honest write-in lines, printer-friendly margins.
A Card Per Appeal
Save the design as a template and reissue it every appeal — swap the campaign name and tiers, keep the brand. Spring gala, year-end, GivingTuesday.
The Nonprofit Pledge Card: The Ask You Can Count
Development runs on pledges — gala commitments, sustainer sign-ups, board campaigns, year-end appeals. The pledge card is the instrument that turns a room's goodwill into a number you can forecast: an amount, a frequency, a designation, a signature. Small card, whole pipeline.
Pledge card, donation form, receipt — three different jobs
The pledge card records the promise and the signature. The donation form collects the gift. The receipt acknowledges it for taxes. Campaigns that blur the three end up asking for card numbers at the gala table (nobody completes them) or collecting gifts they can't count as pledges. Keep the jobs separate and the pipeline reconciles.
The sustainer row is the strategy
Monthly givers retain at roughly twice the rate of one-time givers, and the pledge card is where most sustainer programs start. Put the monthly checkbox beside the one-time gift, word it as a total over the pledge period, and anchor the monthly tiers low — $10 or $20 a month reads smaller than $120 once, even though it's more.
Tiers, labels, and the write-in
Anchor the middle tier at your median gift, step up twice, step down once, and close with the other-amount write-in. When your recognition society has names, put them under the amounts — a 'Builder' checkbox converts better than a bare '$150'. The capital campaign guide covers multi-year ladders for the big builds.
Questions, answered plainly
When should a nonprofit use a pledge card instead of a donation form?
When the commitment matters more than the immediate transaction — gala tables where donors pledge and fulfill later, monthly-giving sign-ups, board campaigns, and matching challenges where you count pledged dollars. The pledge card records and signatures the promise; pair it with an online donation form to collect fulfillment.
What amount tiers work for an annual fund?
Anchor the middle tier at your median gift and step up — a common ladder is $50 / $150 / $500, or $25 / $100 / $250 for smaller bases. Add tier labels (Friend, Supporter, Champion) when your recognition society has names. Always include the other-amount write-in; donors who give below the lowest tier still give.
How do I get more monthly pledges from a card?
Three things: put the monthly checkbox on the same row as one-time (not buried), word it as a total ('$20 per month for 12 months — a $240 pledge') so the impact is visible, and anchor the monthly tiers lower than the one-time tiers. Never pre-check it — sustainer programs built on tricks churn.
Do I need my EIN on the pledge card?
Not required, but one quiet line of tax language near the signature ('Org Name is a 501(c)(3); gifts are tax-deductible as allowed by law') answers the question donors ask at the table. Supply your exact wording and EZdoc prints it verbatim — the pledge card is not a receipt, but it should point to one.
Can I use the same card for the gala and the year-end mailer?
Yes — save the design as a template and swap the campaign name, tiers, and designation options per appeal. Half-letter two-up trims economically for mailers; full-letter reads better on a table beside the program.
