Pledgebank
Using the power of promises
Pledgebank is a great way to organise collective action. It works by letting people, or communities, say: "We'll do it, but only if you will, too". It's great for charities, action groups, housing associations - and any organisation that benefits when people collaborate.
So, for example, a charity supporter might start a pledge that says, "I'll hand out leaflets at an event, but only if four other people do, too". A local community group might say, "If ten people come to help us clean up the beach, we'll lay on sandwiches and drinks".
Pledgebank is also a cost-effective way of gaining sign-ups for sponsored events, or for rewarding your community when specified targets are met.

Harness the power of pledges

Two ways to use Pledgebank
Pledgebank gives you, as an organisation, the ability to set pledges for your members to fulfil. But we believe it works best when it is also open for your community to set up their own pledges. You may be surprised at their inventiveness.

London Borough of Barnet
The London Borough of Barnet is one of our local authority clients. They've been using Pledgebank in an innovative way that really helps them tap into the power of the community:
“With Pledgebank, we can leave people to do things amongst themselves, with the understanding that the council is not just a provider of services, but a catalyst to people doing those things themselves”.
