祈愿行PledgeBank.com是一个英国网站，它支持用户针对任意主题提出自己的愿望。愿望采用这样的形式：”如果有y个人同意同样去做，我将去做x这件事情”。网站于2005年6月13日上线，由mySociety（1）创建。

在PledgeBank.com上由愿望发起或者直接建立起来的著名项目，包括为英国开放权利集团(UK Open Rights Group）发起的种子基金，以及为“NO2ID运动”宣传和合法募集基金的计划(2)。

另外一些有创意的慈善筹款活动也在实施。例如，一个愿望寻求对世界纸牌系列赛的财务支持，条件是一定比例的获胜奖金将捐助给一个非赢利的慈善团体。

此外，它还被用于支持全球性的网络抗议活动，最近的一起，由自由文化组织（Freeculture.org ）发起，抵制带数字版权管理（DRM）的CD销售。

英国首相托尼•布莱尔最近启动了一个自己的愿望，如果有100位著名人士同样参与，他将成为一个社区体育俱乐部的资助人。

成功实现愿望的范例包括目前由格雷汉姆• 伍兹发起的“拒绝媒体”（NOMEDIA）运动(3)，他祈愿，只要有另外10个人参与，他将完全抵制任何形式的媒体两周时间。成功的范例还有由达伦•格鲁夫发起的为非洲捐助课本项目。

PledgeBank is a British website which runs pledges on all topics, of the form: "I will do x if y people agree to do the same." It was founded by mySociety and went live June 13, 2005.

Notable organisations promoted or started by pledges on PledgeBank include the seed funding for the UK Open Rights Group and publicity and legal funding for the NO2ID campaign.

Other creative efforts to raise money for charity are presented. For example, one pledge seeks financing for the World Series of Poker, with a portion of the potential winnings going to a non-profit charity.

Furthermore, it has been utilized to drum up global support for online protests, most recently by Freeculture.org to boycott CDs with DRM.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has recently started a pledge himself, to become patron of a community sports club if 100 notable figures will do the same.

Examples of a successful pledges include the current NOMEDIA campaign started by Graham Woods. He pledges to completely boycott all forms of media for two weeks as long as 10 other people do the same, and the textbook for Africa project started by Darren Grover
