From setup to fundraiser in one afternoon.
PagePledge handles the entire read-a-thon flow — from importing your classrooms to collecting donations. Here's what each person sees.
Set up and manage the read-a-thon
Principals and school admins create the campaign, import their roster, print take-home sheets, and watch the donations come in — all from one dashboard.
Create a campaign
Name it, set the dates and goals, connect your school's Square account so donations go directly to you.
Import the classrooms
Upload a CSV with student names and classrooms. Activation codes and QR-coded take-home sheets are generated automatically.
Print take-home sheets
Each student gets a page with their name, an activation code, and a QR code. Parents scan it to follow their student's reading.
Watch the dashboard
Live stats, leaderboards, rewards, and a transaction log. See every donation in real time.
Follow along and log reading at home
Parents scan the QR code on the take-home sheet, activate their child, and can log reading minutes and share the donation page with family.
Scan the QR code
The take-home sheet has a QR code that links straight to the activation page. Enter your email and you're in.
Track progress
See how much your child has raised, how many minutes they've read, and where they rank in their class.
Log reading minutes
After bedtime stories, log the minutes right from your phone. Teachers can also log classroom reading time.
Log in-class minutes and cheer your students on
Teachers sign in with a magic link to log reading time for the whole class at once and watch their classroom climb the leaderboard.
Sign in with your email
No password to remember. Enter your school email and click the magic link we send you.
Log in-class minutes
One screen, whole class. Pre-checked students, uncheck anyone absent, add a note, log it in seconds.
See your class climb
Live classroom stats, a student leaderboard, and the school-wide progress bar — all on one page.
Grandparents, family, and friends donate in 30 seconds
Parents share a link. Donors see the student's progress, the school's rewards, and can donate with a card — no account needed.
See the student's page
A clean donation page showing who they're raising for, how the school is doing, and what rewards unlock as they hit each goal.
Donate with a card
Pick an amount, enter card details (powered by Square), and optionally cover the processing fee so the school gets 100%.
Schools keep what they raise
No percentage fees. A flat cost per campaign, known upfront. Donors can cover card processing so the school gets 100%.
Reading comes first
The whole point is getting students to read. We keep the fundraising mechanics out of the way so the focus stays on the books.
