99Pledges Fundraiser Administrator Accounts are associated with one email address only. Extra Admin emails cannot be added.
You may find the need to collaborate with a trusted co-chairperson or assistant and would like them to be able to log in as well. We have found the best solution is to utilize an email and password that you do not mind sharing with that trusted person(s).
Having a shared Gmail/email that you use in your organization is the best way for all your trusted team members to access the 99Pledges platform.
How to change your account name as well as email/password:
1) Log in to your 99Pledges account with your email and password.
2) Click on āManageā and then āProfileā.
3) You may now enter your preferred organization name as well as account email/password.
4) Click āSaveā.
The password will always show as 6 black dots even if your password is longer than 6 characters.
**Please Note- When invitations are sent, the Account Name is shown.

If you encounter this issueā¦you can fix this by making sure that the name under your profile is not the same as your āOrganization Nameā of your fundraiser (on the edit details tab). (suggested is to use the the group name (i.e.-Riverside PTO) as the profile account name and your school as the fundraiser organization name (i.e.-Riverside Elementary)

Please note- When invitations are sent out they will appear in your participant's inbox as coming from support@99pledges.com. If a participant/family were to reply it would be sent to your account email address.
