Contest FAQs

Q: What is the total maximum amount I could receive from Pledge?

A: Up to $6,000! You could win up to a $5,000 prize donation from the contest as awarded by our judges and a maximum $1,000 match in donations from Pledge.

Q: Sweet! How long do I have to raise $ again?

A: You have until December 31, 2021 at 11:59pm PST to raise funds for the contest, but funds will only be matched until the $50,000 threshold of matching donations has been reached. 

Q: Are only a certain number of fundraisers eligible for the matching funds? 

A: It’s first come, first serve! We will match all eligible fundraisers until we go through the donation match pool of $50,000, including up to the $1,000 maximum per fundraiser. There could be 1,000 fundraisers that receive a match or 25, it all depends on how quickly (and how much) you fundraise! 

Q: You only matched $400 of my $950 in donations. What happened? 

Pledge is matching up to $50,000 total for all eligible fundraisers. If the remaining amount raised was made either after 12/31 at 11:59pm PST or the $50,000 threshold was hit, the matching will no longer continue. 

Q: Are all donations made to my fundraiser automatically matched?

A: Matches started on Dec 14th at 12:01am PT - any donation made after Dec 14th at 12:01am to a fundraiser (that has opted in) will be matched up until the point that the threshold of $50,000 is met or the campaign ends (12/31/21 at 11:59pm PST), whichever happens first. 

Q: How do I know if my fundraiser is opted in or not? 

A: It’s easy! Head to our recent video on Instagram to see how you can check in three simple steps.
