Double the Donation’s Relationship with MobileCause:

Let’s start by looking at how to incorporate Double the Donation’s plugin into MobileCause’s donation forms.

Step #1: Log into your organization’s MobileCause account. Then select “Weblink” under the “App Links” drop down.

Step #2: Add a Custom Section to your website donation form

Step #3: Name the Custom Section “Matching Gifts” and position it after the contact information.

Step #4: Navigate to the Matching Gift Section and enter a Section Heading. We recommend “Matching Gifts | Access Forms, Guidelines, and Instructions”.

Step #5: Create a Custom Message field.

Step #6: Add a Field Name of “Matching Gifts” and click on the <> to switch to the source code mode.

Step #7: Copy/paste the Double the Donation iframe code from your Double the Donation account management portal into the text box. Please note, you need to use the iframe code option not the standard HTML / Javascript embed option.

Notes:

Step #8: Save everything and preview your MobileCause donation form.

And voila!

Your donation form now incorporates Double the Donation’s searchable matching gift database so donors can easily access company specific matching gift forms, guidelines, and instructions.
