Our story
The whole campaign.
One station.
Pledgix wasn't dreamed up in a boardroom. It was built by people who stood inside other people's campaigns for years - and kept hearing the same complaint.
Before Pledgix was a platform, it was a front-row seat.
We come from the marketing world. For years, our team stood behind campaigns for organizations of every kind - yeshivas racing a deadline, shuls raising for a building, chesed funds answering an emergency at two in the morning, and the quiet askanim who carry a whole community’s needs on their shoulders without ever asking for credit.
We wrote the appeals. We planned the phone rooms. We stood in the back of the hall on campaign night and watched the totals climb. And because we were behind the curtain - not on the stage - we saw something the donors never see: what the people running these campaigns actually go through.
Campaign after campaign, we heard the same complaint.
It was never “there are no tools.” There were plenty of tools. The complaint was that nothing lived in one place - and none of it was as good as it could be.
The donation page sat on one system. The pledges lived in a spreadsheet. The receipts came from a second service. The phone team worked off printed lists, the matching math lived in one person’s head, and at eleven o’clock on campaign night, three different totals disagreed with each other while the hall waited for a number.
Managing a campaign had quietly become managing the tools - instead of the campaign.
How it used to look
- A donation page on one system
- Pledges in a spreadsheet
- Receipts from a second service
- The phone team on paper lists
- Matching math in someone's head
- Three totals that never agreed
One station now
So we took it on as a mission.
Our community can organize a levaya in an hour and a hachnosas kallah overnight. The software behind our tzedakah should be at least that organized.
The goal we set was very simple, and we have never changed it: one station. A single place where every piece of a campaign lives - the page, the payments, the pledges, the phones, the receipts, the teams, the numbers. Everything visible. Everything clear. Every piece of information exactly where you’d expect to find it, with nothing to stitch together and nothing to reconcile at midnight.
And one rule above everything: it has to work for everyone. A campaign manager with twenty campaigns behind them should feel the full power of the engine. And someone who has never run anything - a yungerman raising for a family in crisis, a gabbai with a building fund, a teacher with a class trip - should be able to open Pledgix for the first time and know exactly where everything is.
If any piece of information is hard to find, that’s our bug - not your confusion. That’s the standard we build to, every day.
The first campaigns told us we were right.
In 2026 we stopped talking about it and built it. The first version of Pledgix - an MVP, though to us it was a promise - went into the hands of a few real campaigns. Not a demo, not a focus group: real causes, real donors, real campaign nights.
The reaction wasn’t just approval. It was relief. The people running those campaigns kept telling us versions of the same sentence: finally, everything is in one place - I always know exactly where I stand.
And the feature they thanked us for most surprised even us. Not the flashiest screen - the Financial Hub. For the first time, a campaign could see every expense - the hall, the printing, the phone room - sitting right next to every dollar raised, with receipts attached and paid and unpaid marked, so the number that actually matters - what reaches the cause - was never a guess. When the money is tzedakah, that kind of clarity lands deeper than any animation ever could.
Those thank-yous were the push. We stopped calling it an MVP and went to build the real thing - the platform you’re looking at now.
How we work
Four habits we refuse to break.
The money is not ours.
Every dollar that moves through a campaign is tzedakah - someone's maaser, someone's sacrifice. Donations flow through regulated payment processors directly to the organization. Our job is to count it perfectly, show it clearly, and get out of the way.
Clarity is respect.
A campaign manager should never have to wonder where a number came from. Every total, every pledge, every fee is visible and explained - because confusion about money is how trust dies, and trust is the whole business of tzedakah.
Campaign night is the real test.
Anyone can look good on a quiet Tuesday. We build for the last four hours before the deadline - the phone room at full speed, the live screen in the hall, the terminals going shul to shul, the total climbing in front of everyone.
Built for everyone who gives.
Hebrew and English, right-to-left done properly, receipts that make sense to a bookkeeper and a bubby alike. The platform grew up inside the Jewish community - it should feel like home to the people who use it.
Who’s behind it
A name, not a logo.
Mendy Joseph
Founder
Mendy Joseph spent years in the marketing field, building and running campaigns for organizations across the community - and collecting, campaign after campaign, the same list of things that should have been easier. Pledgix is that list, answered: the tool he kept wishing existed on every campaign night, built so the next campaign manager wouldn’t have to wish for it.
Today he leads Pledgix from Suffern, New York, with a focused team of about seven - developers and sales people in one office, close enough to the product to answer their own phones and close enough to the community to know what a campaign night actually feels like. Small by design: our customers know us by name, and we know their campaigns by heart.
Reach him the old-fashioned way: through a real conversation.
The road so far
From complaint to platform.
Founded. Established - a marketing team decides to stop complaining about campaign tools and build the station instead.
The MVP. The first version of Pledgix goes into the hands of a few real campaigns - real causes, real donors, real campaign nights.
The signal. The feedback arrives, and it's loudest about the Financial Hub: every expense with its receipt, next to every dollar raised. That thank-you becomes our direction.
One station. The full platform: campaigns, payments, phone rooms, terminals, live screens and back-office reporting - one station, in five languages.
