PledgeCents: Where Every Cent Counts<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

For decades, teachers have reached into their own pockets to purchase new technology and supplies for their classrooms. However, over the past few years, fundraising tools online like DonorsChoose<\/a> and GoFundme<\/a> have helped ease the burden for educators by connecting donors to teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PledgeCents<\/a> has emerged as a fast-growing alternative DonorsChoose, that educators should consider before selecting a crowdfunding platform. The Texas-based company has already helped fund over $2 million in projects for educators, churches, youth sports a, d non-profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AndyShea Saberioon is the CEO and Co-Founder of PledgeCents and he says what separates them from other crowdfunding platforms is that they don\u2019t charge a platform fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saberioon says PledgeCents also doesn\u2019t refund the money if the project goal is not met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOther sites, if you have a goal of $1000 and you raise $999 they\u2019ll refund the $999 to everyone who donated. As with us, you still keep that money,\u201d says Saberioon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saberioon says it allows the teachers to have more flexibility and not be afraid to set a higher goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
