Sometimes you may have people who give to a specific "Pledge" Fund, but they never actually communicated what they would like to officially pledge. Some churches like to be able to run reports to see people who are giving to a pledge fund but do not have a pledge actually established. Other times it may be helpful for you to search the database to find people who have not pledged at all to a specific campaign.
