Please let the IDE's editor show line numbers.
That makes it easier for you to see where the problem is.

The error is obvious. See in your code carefully, you missed { after creating class. Try this:

Java

public class Pledgeform2.java extends javax.swing.JFrame
{//This was missed	
	public Pledgeform2() {
        initComponents();
    };    
    JFrame guiFrame = new JFrame();
    JPanel panel_1;
    JLabel label_1;
    JLabel label_2;
    ButtonGroup cbg;
    JRadioButton radio_1;
    JRadioButton radio_2;
    JRadioButton radio_3;
    JRadioButton radio_4;
    JList list_1;
    JScrollPane sp_list_1;
    JLabel label_3;
	 
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    
    }
    public Pledgeform2() {
        Pledgeform2Layout customLayout = new Pledgeform2Layout();
        panel_1 = new JPanel();    
        label_1 = new JLabel("Last Name");
        label_2 = new JLabel("First Name");
        cbg = new ButtonGroup();
        radio_1 = new JRadioButton("$10.00", false);
        cbg.add(radio_1);
        radio_2 = new JRadioButton("$20.00", false);
        cbg.add(radio_2);
        radio_3 = new JRadioButton("$50.00", false);
        cbg.add(radio_3);
        radio_4 = new JRadioButton("Other Amount", false);
        cbg.add(radio_4);       
        DefaultListModel listModel_list_1 = new DefaultListModel();
        listModel_list_1.addElement("Red Cross");
        listModel_list_1.addElement("Salvation Army");
        listModel_list_1.addElement("Humane Society");
        listModel_list_1.addElement("Poor UofP Students");
        list_1 = new JList(listModel_list_1);
        sp_list_1 = new JScrollPane(list_1);
        label_3 = new JLabel("Call 1-800-555-6789 if pledging other amount");
        /**
         * @param args the command line arguments
         */
    }
}

Your class name is illegal, it should just be Pledgeform2, plus you need the { before the class details. You also have a constructor for the class inside your main method, plus most of your variables have not been typed on their declarations. I think you would be well advised to study this tutorial[^].
