Afghan Airlift Campaign Saves 2,000+ Lives

At a time of desperation when the U.S. announced their pending withdrawal from Afghanistan, a small group of campaign organizers discovered Pledge's fundraising platform as the solution they needed to raise funds quickly form their global network. This was the only known successful aircraft evacuation campaign from Afghanistan which saved thousands of lives.

Without Pledge, there’s no way that we could have raised the money necessary to ultimately save the lives of thousands of people during the fall of Afghanistan. It was so easy to use and together, we helped to execute maybe the largest civilian evacuation in United States history.

FAQs

Yes! Disasters often require different types of support — from immediate emergency relief to long-term rebuilding efforts. Through Pledge, you can easily distribute funds across multiple verified organizations responding to the same disaster. Choose from our database of 2 million+ verified nonprofits to support both large international aid organizations and local groups providing on-the-ground assistance. This allows you to create comprehensive relief campaigns that address both immediate needs and sustained recovery efforts in affected communities.
We accept all forms of giving to ensure every donor can contribute quickly during emergencies. Beyond standard payment methods like credit cards, ACH, and wire transfers, Pledge processes donations through Donor Advised Funds (DAFs), stock transfers, and over 130 cryptocurrencies. For contributions above $10,000, we also accept paper checks. This flexibility is especially valuable for larger donors who may prefer tax-advantaged giving methods like DAFs or appreciated stock, allowing them to maximize both their impact and tax benefits while supporting urgent disaster relief efforts.
We understand that speed is critical during emergencies. That’s why we’ve created an expedited payout process specifically for disaster response: Once donations clear through our payment processor Stripe (typically within 24 hours), we can transfer funds to your organization the very next day. To ensure the fastest possible access to funds, simply verify your banking details in your Pledge nonprofit profile here ahead of time. This streamlined process helps get resources to affected communities as quickly as possible when every minute counts.
