Here at PledgeBank, we’re quite proud of the actions people have taken to improve their communities. Each of the successful pledges on the site mark something significant – trees planted, books distributed, friendships formed, votes cast, money donated, letters written, and a whole host of other actions.

        that require several people. We think that the world needs such a
        service: lots of good things don't happen because there aren't enough
        organised people to do them.</DD></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.pledgebank.com/faq"><DT>How does it work?</DT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.pledgebank.com/faq"><DD>PledgeBank allows users to set up pledges and then encourages other
    people to sign up to them. A pledge is a statement of the form 'I will
    do something, if a certain number of people will help me do it'. The
    creator of the pledge then publicises their pledge and encourages
    people to sign up. Two outcomes are possible – either
    the pledge fails to get enough subscribers before it expires (in which
    case, we contact everyone and tell them 'better luck next time'), or,
    the better possibility, the pledge attracts enough people that
    they are all sent a message saying 'Well done—now get going!'</DD></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.pledgebank.com/faq"><DT>What can I ask people to pledge?</DT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.pledgebank.com/faq">Pretty much anything which isn't illegal, and which doesn't incite
