Pledges are donations made by friends, relatives, colleagues, employees, clients and other members of a fundraiser Participant's social circle, to the CSO supported by the participant.

A fundraisers Particpant raises money from his or her extended social circle - that of family, relatives, friends, class-mates, colleagues, clients, customers, community (both physical and virtual!), fan-base, etc. A fundraisers Participant must be well-informed about the cause he or she is supporting and the specifics of the fund requirement of the Civil Society Organisations - CSO/ NGO, and be able to speak about it knowledgeably among people. This will result in a positive response and people will definitely contribute to the cause. The fundraisers Participant collects contributions in the form of cheques / drafts (in the name of the CSO) or direct bank transfer. If it is cash, which is not encouraged, the fundraisers Participant must submit an equivalent cheque in the CSO's name. If the bank transfer is to the fundraisers Participant's account, once again he or she must create an equivalent cheque. One week before the run, the fundraisers Participant must fill the Funds Collection Sheet, Funds Submission Form and submit along with all the cheques to India Cares. India Cares forwards the cheques to the selected CSO after due processing. An fundraisers participant can also create an appeal page on the India Cares website and raise money online throughout the country.
