About DashPledge

We started DashPledge with one simple belief: more of every dollar raised should go to the cause — not to a platform.

We’re building the simplest, most transparent way for schools, sports teams, and communities to fundraise online, with 0% platform fees and no surprises.

OUR MISSION

Helping Schools and Teams Raise More — with 0% Platform Fees

DashPledge exists to level the playing field for every school booster club, youth sports team, PTA, and community group. Traditional fundraising platforms quietly take 5–8% of every donation. We don’t. Every dollar your supporters give goes directly to your cause.

We make our platform sustainable through optional donor tips — never by taking from your fundraiser.

WHY WE STARTED

The Problem We Set Out to Fix

We raised $10,000 but only received $9,200. Where did the rest go?”

Most fundraising platforms charge platform fees, processing fees, and monthly subscription costs — often buried in the fine print.

After spending hours organizing a fundraiser, rallying your community, and hitting your goal, finding out a platform quietly kept hundreds of dollars is disheartening.

DashPledge was built to fix that.

We believe fundraising should be transparent, simple, and fair — so the people who work hard to raise money actually keep what they raise.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Marlon Ramos is an IT Consultant and the founder of DashPledge.

The idea was born close to home — his wife Aileen, a PTA treasurer, worked closely with the PTA president organizing move-a-thons and read-a-thons for their school, only to watch a significant chunk of every dollar disappear to platform fees. Month after month, she’d come home frustrated, knowing that 15–20% of what their community worked so hard to raise never made it to the kids.

Marlon saw a real problem that needed a real fix. So he built DashPledge — a platform where schools and communities keep 100% of what they raise, with no hidden fees and no surprises.

Fundraising is hard work. The money should go to the kids — not the platform.”
