Transparent 10% Flat Fee Model Eliminates Hidden Costs That Have Long Plagued School Fundraising
LAKE FOREST, CA, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — PledgeHub, a breakthrough fundraising platform designed specifically for school teams, booster clubs, and community organizations, today announced its official launch. Founded by Shahram Motamedian and Mahendra Vedulla, PledgeHub addresses a critical problem facing schools nationwide: the erosion of fundraising dollars through hidden fees, per-user charges, and inflated processing costs that drain resources meant for students and programs.
A Solution Born from Frustration
With government funding for school sports, teams, and clubs increasingly scarce, schools have turned to fundraising platforms—only to discover that a significant portion of their hard-earned money disappears into platform fees and hidden charges. PledgeHub changes this dynamic with a simple promise: Raise More. Keep More.
“We watched dedicated parents, coaches, and volunteers pour countless hours into organizing fundraisers, only to see a significant portion of the proceeds vanish into hidden platform costs,” said Shahram Motamedian, co-founder of PledgeHub. “We built PledgeHub to deliver a smarter, more transparent fundraising solution designed to empower schools, not exploit them.”
Transparent Pricing, Maximum Impact
Unlike traditional fundraising platforms that layer on platform fees, per-user charges, setup costs, and messaging fees, PledgeHub operates on a straightforward pricing model: a flat 10% transaction fee per donation that includes credit card processing. That’s it. No surprises.
What PledgeHub doesn’t charge:
No platform purchase charges
No per-user fees
No per-contact fees

No messaging, email, or SMS fees
This transparent approach means that schools and booster clubs keep significantly more of every dollar raised.
