Each year, millions of donors unknowingly miss out on corporate matching gifts. Our founder, Adam Weigner, experienced this firsthand.
Before starting Double the Donation, he worked at a major bank and made regular donations to his university, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. However, it wasn’t until the submission deadline passed that Adam discovered his employer would match those gifts.
Recognizing the missed opportunities for both nonprofits and donors, Adam launched Double the Donation in 2011. Shortly thereafter, Kanwei Li joined as CTO, bringing a wealth of coding experience and a passion for nonprofit growth. Together, they developed a solution to simplify matching gift identification and follow-up for nonprofits.
Since then, Double the Donation has helped thousands of nonprofits and schools harness the power of matching gifts and workplace giving. Our commitment to this mission continues to grow.
