Pledgehammer.com is a site that helps you keep your promises. We do this by making your pledge public and asking you to decide on a deadline as well as a financial incentive. Should you not succeed we kindly ask you to donate money to a charity you choose yourself. This way your unsuccessful pledge may help to save the rainforest or support families in third world countries, making it not all that unsuccessful after all.
A small part of some donations will be paid back to Pledgehammer.com to cover the costs of maintaining this service. We think it’s only fair as this helps driving more donations to organizations that make a difference and more people sticking to their pledges.
