Pledges and multi-year commitments let you record a donor's promise now and track it as it comes in over time, rather than only counting gifts as they land. A pledge is entered once and stays attached to that donor's record, so your team always knows what's been committed and what's still outstanding.

Because pledges live in the same CRM as one-time gifts, ticket buyers, and soft credits, you get a full picture of a donor's support instead of a fragmented one. That makes it easier to plan around committed revenue, not just cash already in hand.
