Morphology
The meaning 'a person who takes or records pledges' is directly derivable from combining 'pledge' (a commitment or promised donation) with 'taker' (a person who accepts or receives). This noun–noun compound follows ordinary English composition patterns and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun pledge taker creates the picture of someone on the phone who writes down a pledge, a promise to give money, and so is the taker of that promise. That's why it means 'a person who records promised donations for a fundraiser'.
