Description
The Pledge Campaign module allows you to create a campaign. For example, a targeted fundraising campaign, annual investments campaign, or a capital campaign. It will include a goal amount to be reached within a specific period of time.
Within the campaign, you may add pledges to track donations made by specific profiles. Definable pledge levels are also an option to help organize your list of pledges.
As you add these pledges, you will be able to monitor the progress of your campaign, and track the billing and invoicing of each pledge.
