Double the Donation and Classy Launch Matching Gift Functionality on Embedded Donation Forms

Double the Donation and Classy have come together to debut a recent development in their existing integration. This pair has now launched 360MatchPro matching gift functionality on Classy’s embedded donation forms.

Classy’s preferred matching gift solution, 360MatchPro, already works with Classy’s standard donation forms to identify match-eligible donors and drive their matching gift requests to completion. As Classy continues to develop more ways for nonprofits to create meaningful connections with supporters through a full suite of giving experiences, they recognize the importance of offering a robust matching gift solution on all of their available donation pages to drive giving opportunities forward.

“Our customers consistently share their success with 360MatchPro, making it an important offering in the Classy fundraising suite,” said Thom Morris, Director of Product Marketing at Classy. “Classy’s embedded donation forms convert at 2x the industry average and we’re seeing our nonprofit customers grow their revenue as a result. With the addition of 360MatchPro, we are excited to fuel matching gift funds through this integration to double the impact on the increase in donations from our embedded forms.”

This new product integration will offer similar functionality to the existing standard donation form counterpart, providing nonprofits with a seamless integration experience. This means that as donors navigate their donation flow, they will be able to drive matching gift donations regardless of which form they are using.

“Our organization, Double the Donation, already makes it simple for nonprofits to capitalize on matching gift funds and fuel fundraising success,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “With our new integration release, we are excited to extend this functionality to organizations using the embedded donation form solution.”

This integration can be seamlessly activated within the Classy platform, making it simple for nonprofit fundraisings to capitalize on the billions of dollars offered through matching gift programs each year.

360MatchPro integrates seamlessly with Classy to provide users with a simple, no-code setup process. Once a fundraiser gets signed on with both Classy donation forms and Double the Donation’s 360MatchPro, they can connect the two services. 

By navigating to the Double the Donation app in the “Apps and Services” section of their Classy account, users can add the matching gift solution to their desired donation forms.

What to Know About Our Standard Matching Gift Request Form

What to Know About Double the Donation’s Standard Matching Gift Form

Corporate matching gifts can offer a significant revenue source for charitable organizations. In order to leverage the programs, a nonprofit’s donors typically must submit a matching gift form to their employers. The form essentially allows an individual to provide details about their own qualifying donation and request an associated corporate match.

Unfortunately, this has long been a critical drop-off point for organizations looking to make the most of available matching opportunities. Many donors lack an understanding of the request process that is required of them. That’s why, for more than a decade, Double the Donation has created software aimed to simplify the process by providing company-specific details, next steps, and more.

Now, we’re taking it a step further with our easier-than-ever-before standard matching gift form. And in this guide, we’ll tell you all about it as we walk through the basics:

Unclaimed matches hinder the impact potential of charitable organizations, their donors, and the businesses partaking in workplace giving programs alike. By streamlining and automating the request process altogether, we can take an additional step toward maximal usage.

Let’s see how Double the Donation’s intuitive standard matching gift request form can help.

Top tip! Consider working with one of our suggested CSR platforms as your #1 choice for workplace giving program management. But if you’re not ready for that, our standard matching gift form is a great backup!

What is Double the Donation’s standard matching gift form?

There is a range of ways that a donor can submit a matching gift request to their employing company, and a lot of that depends on the company the individual works for. For example, one old-fashioned company might still accept paper forms that require employees to complete and scan or mail back to process. At the same time, a different business may have moved to a completely online system using a digital submission portal.

Regardless of the method with which documentation is completed, a matching gift form generally encapsulates the same information. Most often, these include three types of data points:

  • Donor Information ⁠— Details about the donors themselves; Frequently some combination of name, contact information, and perhaps an employee identification number.
  • Recipient Nonprofit Information ⁠— Provides an overview of the nonprofit the individual donor supported; Typically asks for the organization name, mailing address, EIN, and other contact information.
  • Donation Information ⁠— Pertaining to the recent transaction; Generally involves a donation amount and date.

Here's an example of Double the Donation's standard matching gift request form

As you might guess, a lot of the above information can be a bit redundant for the donor. Now, Double the Donation’s standard matching gift form pulls the necessary data points directly from the transaction, as well as information collected from nonprofits, to automatically fill in the document. Once completed, a PDF is immediately sent to the matching gift coordinator via email designated by the company.

It’s an easier process for donors and ultimately results in a greater matching gift program impact.

How does the standard matching gift request form work?

Perhaps you’re thinking, “sounds great⁠—but how does it actually work?” In that case, let’s see the process in action for participating companies, step by step.

1. An individual makes a donation to their favorite nonprofit cause, entering their employer’s name in Double the Donation’s company search tool.

If their employing company has enabled matching gift e-submission through our standard request form, the donor will be prompted to authorize Double the Donation to submit a match on their behalf. (Typically, all the individual is required to do is enter their corporate email address and check a box!)

Donors can complete the matching gift request process from the confirmation page when their employer uses Double the Donation's standard matching gift form

2. Double the Donation automatically fills in the blanks on our standard matching gift form to provide the employing company with the information they need.

Generally, donor and transaction information is pulled from the donation record itself, while nonprofit details are made available through pre-filled organization profiles within 360MatchPro.

Here's an example of Double the Donation's completed standard matching gift request form

 

3. The auto-filled match request form is emailed in a PDF document to the matching gift coordinator identified by the company.

From there, the employer reviews the match request, as usual, to ensure the initial donation meets the company’s predetermined match eligibility criteria. Assuming it does, the match is approved, and funding is provided to the nonprofit cause!

Key benefits of our standard form for donors, nonprofits, and companies

The more you can simplify the matching gift process, the better your overall results will be. This is true whether you’re on the corporate or the nonprofit side of things. And luckily, Double the Donation’s standard match request form is designed to do just that for both parties⁠—plus your common denominator, employee donors.

Let’s dive into a few key advantages for each perspective.

For Donors

Donors love participating in matching gift programs (in fact, 84% of individuals report being more likely to give if they know a match is being offered). But when the process involved gets too complicated or time-consuming, even dedicated and eligible donors sometimes fail to complete the task.

When all that’s asked of them is to enter their corporate email address, on the other hand, individuals will be much more likely to follow through. And in doing so, participating donors receive the benefit of knowing their support is going twice as far for a cause they care about.

For Nonprofits

According to matching gift research, only 8% of eligible donors know their employers offer a matching gift program and know how to go about submitting a match request. This significant knowledge gap plays a huge role in more than $4 to $7 billion in available match funding going unclaimed each year.

By simplifying the request process and providing an easy way for donors to submit requests to their companies, Double the Donation’s standard match form results in increased funding for nonprofit organizations.

For Companies

Companies that accept the standard matching gift form receive all the benefits of offering a matching gift program in the first place⁠—in larger quantities. After all, the more a business donates to charitable causes, the better its overall CSR. Optimal CSR leads to elevated employee engagement (productivity, longevity, recruitment, etc.), improved image (increased sales and brand loyalty), and more.

Leveraging Double the Donation’s standard match form simplifies employee participation, thus maximizing program use levels.

Getting started with our matching gift request form

We’ve designed our standard matching gift form to be as simple as possible⁠—while still accomplishing the intended task. And that includes the ease with which organizations and businesses can get set up.

Interested in taking the next steps? Here’s how you can quickly begin leveraging the benefits of the common match request form for your team.

For Nonprofits

If your nonprofit employs Double the Donation’s matching gift automation solution, there’s good news! Your donors are already set to partake in streamlined e-submission through our standard request form. When a qualifying individual makes a donation using your online giving form and selects their employer during the donation experience, they’ll be prompted to submit their match request automatically from your gift confirmation screen.

To ensure the match form is completed with accurate information, be sure to fill out your Organization Profile in 360MatchPro. This also increases the likelihood that matches are approved by participating companies. And it simplifies the process for you, your donors, and their employers.

If your organization has yet to get started with 360MatchPro, you can schedule a demo here to see our tools in action⁠—and learn more about the impact of the standard match form.

For Companies

Double the Donation’s matching gift form can certainly simplify the matching gift request process for employees. Still, we recommend that companies leverage a complete corporate giving platform to manage their philanthropic efforts. But if you’re looking for a temporary solution to streamline matching gifts from the donor’s perspective or would like to accept our standard matching gift form in addition to your more built-out process, getting started is quick and easy.

Here’s how:

If your company has developed an employee matching program for the first time, click here to add your initiative to our comprehensive database. As you provide information about your company’s submission process, be sure to select that you’d like to use Double the Donation’s standard form.

On the other hand, if your company’s existing program is already listed in Double the Donation’s database, click here to suggest updates to your program guidelines. Then, indicate that you’d like to accept the standard match form. You’ll be prompted to enter the name, phone number, and email of the person who manages the company’s giving initiatives.

And that’s it! From there, the specified contact person will receive completed match request forms each time an employee makes a donation to a qualifying nonprofit and selects the automated e-submission choice.


Final Thoughts

The future of matching gifts is here, and it’s increasingly reliant on innovative technology to streamline and simplify the process. Double the Donation’s standard matching gift form is one example of this. As corporate philanthropy continues to become a higher priority by companies across the globe, the demand for matching gifts⁠—and standardized processes with them⁠—will continue to grow.

New and Improved Functionality: Matching Gift Form E-Sign

New and Improved Functionality: Matching Gift Form E-Sign

Matching gift programs have been revolutionized in the last several years, with companies of all shapes and sizes getting involved. And with this transformation is also that of matching gift forms. Ideally, employers want to offer a request process that is quick and easy for team members to participate and reduces administrative workload behind the scenes. So where does matching gift form e-sign come in?

Dive in to explore key trends and current happenings regarding employee match fundraising, particularly in terms of matching gift e-sign. We’ll walk through:

Double the Donation has long been at the forefront of corporate giving innovation. That’s why we’re here to provide your team with the context you need to understand matching gift technology, functionality, and more.

The historical significance of matching gift form e-sign functionality

Historically, many companies required donors to submit matching gift request forms on paper. After all, General Electric launched the very first matching gift program in 1954, when electronic mail was still the stuff of science fiction. Over the next few decades, many matching gift programs used the paper form model for their original program launches as they were created.

Now, let’s fast forward to 2011, when Double the Donation was established. Some forward-thinking companies had already begun offering online submission to simplify the matching gift process for their employees. As a result, Double the Donation was perfectly positioned to help these donors submit their matching gift requests by linking directly to those online portals. But some companies were dragging their feet and still requiring paper matching gift forms.

How could Double the Donation support donors whose companies required paper forms? Our solution was to develop cutting-edge matching gift form e-sign functionality. With Double the Donation e-sign, donors could simply complete a pre-filled online PDF and send it to their company’s matching gift program managers that way.

And it worked! We saw an immediate increase in the percentage of these paper-only donors who submitted matching gift requests. But at the same time, the transition to electronic-only submission in the industry was already accelerating.

The move away from paper matching gift forms

As online submissions are increasing, the inverse is true for historic paper forms⁠—in the past few years, we’ve seen paper forms becoming significantly less popular.

For context, when Double the Donation got its start, about 70% of match-eligible employees had a paper or PDF option for submitting their matching gift requests. But by 2017, the percentage of match-eligible employees eligible to submit a paper form dropped all the way to 7.1%. And the number who actually chose to use the forms was even lower.

That’s because online portal submission is easier, faster, more secure, and all-around better for donors, the companies they work for, and the organizations they support. It’s been proven time and time again: When both an electronic submission option and a paper one are offered to the same employee group, more matching gift submissions are completed through the online process.

In fact, some of the most well-known philanthropic companies have adapted to an online-only submission process over the past few years. Check out these quotes from the following employers:

  • IBM: “New process for 2017. Next year, we will introduce an online process for matching grants and eliminate the use of printed applications.”
  • Merck: “Please discontinue the use of all paper request forms. Matching gift funds should be submitted via the Merck website.”
  • Alliant Energy: “We moved to an online request process only in 2015. This will provide a more efficient method for our Foundation.”
  • Prudential: “We will no longer offer paper forms for the Matching Gifts Program.”

And that was just the tip of the iceberg!

Discontinuation of Double the Donation’s prior matching gift form e-sign feature

So what did this mean for us?

With these process changes occurring, the percentage of donors submitting paper match requests continued to fall. By the end of 2018, only an estimated 4% of donors ⁠used the historical paper-only approach—and that figure has decreased steadily since then.

All these factors led us to the easy decision to shift our focus away from the e-signing of paper forms and toward the future of matching gifts.

Now, you might ask⁠—But haven’t you heard the statistic that 50% of companies use paper matching gift forms?

We certainly have! But it’s important to remember that in a changing industry, statistics and assumptions have to be continually re-assessed. Double the Donation commits to always looking into the data to recognize when we need to re-evaluate. This is one of those situations.

It may have been true years ago that 50% (or so) of companies required paper matching gift form submission. However, more recent analysis has shown that this statistic is not just outdated⁠—it doesn’t tell the full story.

Think about the different companies that have matching gift programs. Businesses of all shapes and sizes come to mind, from Home Depot with half a million employees to the local pizzeria that employs five individuals. Home Depot requires electronic form submission, while the local pizza joint requires paper forms. You can see that Home Depot’s program affects significantly more donors than the pizzeria.

In other words, ask yourself this:

What is more useful for your organization to know in this scenario: that 50%—or at this point, likely less⁠—of companies require paper forms or that a tiny percentage of match-eligible donors use paper forms? Which statistic should you base your fundraising decisions on?

Our answer to the previous question is exactly why we’ve started weighing our analysis by employee count⁠. And the resulting statistics tell a compelling story. The biggest matching gift programs affecting the largest percentages of donors have already moved away from paper matching gift forms. And we’re seeing smaller programs following suit, as well!

Therefore, at Double the Donation, we’re doing the same with our own development priorities.

The future of matching gift fundraising

The move to online matching isn’t the only trend we’re seeing in corporate social responsibility. In the past decade, we’ve also kept our fingers on the pulse of another trend: the increasing consolidation of workplace giving solutions.

More and more often, companies are turning to workplace giving platforms like Benevity, CyberGrants, YourCause, and more to help facilitate their matching gift programs. And it’s not just the Fortune 500 companies that are doing so! In fact, many breakthrough solutions⁠—such as Millie, Selflessly, Givinga, and POINT—have been designed specifically to aid small and mid-sized businesses in offering powerful matching gift programs.

Leveraging this type of software empowers charitable companies to do more with their philanthropic initiatives while minimizing the administrative workload. Meanwhile, we’ve also noticed that companies that outsource facilitation of their giving process can offer more streamlined and optimized processes for employees wanting to get involved. This tends to result in elevated program usage, highly engaged team members, and more dollars funneling into nonprofit causes overall.

Breakthrough auto-submission with CSR partners

In the spirit of continuous improvement when it comes to matching gift technology and the match request process, Double the Donation has recently released a new game-changing feature⁠—auto-submission.

This innovative functionality, made possible through strategic integrations with forward-thinking corporate giving platforms, enables employees to request matches directly from an organization’s gift confirmation screen. This allows them to bypass the request process almost entirely. All they typically have to do is provide their email address and authorize Double the Donation to submit their match.

Auto-submission and matching gift form e-sign process

We’ve certainly come a long way since paper forms; now, some donors don’t have to complete a form at all! And this benefits every party involved. Employee donors can request their matches in less time and with fewer roadblocks. Nonprofit organizations receive increased match funding and more highly engaged supporters. Companies see elevated program usage, satisfied employees, and better public images.

Benefits of auto-submission and matching gift form e-sign

E-submission with our standard matching gift form

And that’s not all! The Double the Donation team has also developed a standard online matching gift form that employers can use to authorize automated electronic submissions themselves.

We recommend that all companies participating in workplace giving enlist the aid of a dedicated CSR platform. But for companies that may not be ready to take that next step but are interested in simplifying the matching gift request process, it’s now quick and easy to get started with our new standard submission form.

Matching gift form e-sign with Double the Donation's standard matching gift form

This basic form collects all the data an employer would need to review and approve a match request. This includes:

  • Donor information ⁠such as their name, corporate email address, and/or employee ID number;
  • Donation information ⁠such as donation amount and transaction date;
  • Nonprofit information ⁠such as name, website, mailing address, EIN, and more.

And it’s all automated so that donors can submit their matches quickly and easily, ultimately removing common roadblocks and driving more matching gifts to completion.

Top tip! Nonprofits looking to make the most of matching gift auto-submission and Double the Donation’s standard matching gift form should be sure to fill out their Organization Profile in 360MatchPro. This allows the right information to be incorporated into the automated submission form, making it more likely that the match is ultimately approved and paid out.


Final thoughts

Matching gift submission processes are becoming increasingly standardized, centralized, and digitized. So how can we support nonprofits, schools, and other fundraising organizations in this shifting environment? The answer lies in guiding donors through the electronic portal submission process.

At Double the Donation, we focus on giving donors confidence, speed, and accuracy when submitting their matching gift requests. That means prioritizing personalized automation flows and database accuracy.

We’re heading into the future, and we hope you’ll join us!

Announcing New Matching Gift Auto-Submission Functionality

The Double the Donation team is constantly improving our matching gift solution to provide users with the best possible technology for their fundraising needs. Today, we’re announcing innovative matching gift auto-submission, now built into our software platform.

This revolutionary feature will make it easier than ever before for donors to complete and submit their matching gift requests to employers. Looking to learn more about the functionality? You’ve come to the right place!

In this guide, we’ll share everything you need to know to make the most of matching gift auto-submission with Double the Donation’s flagship product, 360MatchPro⁠—including:

Let’s begin with the basics.

What is matching gift auto-submission?

Matching gift auto-submission is essentially the automation of the corporate matching gift request process.

Traditionally, donors looking to participate in their employers’ matching gift programs have been required to navigate to the company’s matching gift management portal. From there, they’ll be asked to search for and locate the organization to which they contributed. This is typically done by entering the nonprofit’s name, mailing address, and tax ID number.

Once the individual has selected the correct listing from the organization search tool, they’ll be prompted to provide information about their donation⁠—such as payment type, donation amount, currency, date of the gift, and more. They might even be asked to upload a copy of their donation receipt.

While developing your matching gift program, your company should try to eliminate as many barriers to participation as possible. One of the reasons your employees might turn away from participating in the program is if your company has a laborious and complex submission system.

When donors are able to automatically submit their match request, however, all they’re typically asked for is their corporate email address! Then, Double the Donation gathers data relevant to the donation and organization and transfers the information to the matching gift management platform to process the request.

Your employees might have to undertake many steps that overcomplicate the process without auto-submission. Empower your matching gift program to do good by making the giving journey as straightforward and effortless as possible. You’ll be motivating social good as well as improving the workplace environment and employee satisfaction!

How matching gift auto-submission works

How matching gifts without auto-submission

Key benefits of matching gift auto-submission

Streamlining the matching gift process with auto-submission offers huge benefits to each party involved in the process. Specifically, these are some of the most significant advantages seen by all the key stakeholders of the initiative:

Benefits for Donors

Simplicity and elevated donation impact ⁠— Donors love getting their gifts matched (who wouldn’t want to see their dollars stretch further for an organization they care about?), but even the most dedicated supporters can be distracted and discouraged by complicated request processes. Double the Donation has long worked to streamline match submissions when possible by directing donors to their online forms, but auto-submission functionality brings simplicity to the next level. We can almost hear the donors saying, “All I have to do is enter my email address for my gift to be matched and bring my impact to the next level? I’m in!”

Benefits for Nonprofits

Increased matching gift revenue ⁠— When more donors successfully submit their matches, more matching gift funds are ultimately sent your way. That means additional streams of revenue that can be used to pursue mission programming and even help cover overhead costs. And it’s all without having to dedicate a ton of team member time and resources to pursuing matches, thanks to automation from start to finish.

Benefits for Employees

Decreased submission roadblocks ⁠— When employees find out that they’re eligible to participate in their companies’ workplace giving programs, they’re typically excited about the opportunity to give back in big ways—not to mention get their employers involved in the causes they personally care about. However, time-consuming submission processes can take some of the joy out of partaking and even lead to eligible employees not getting involved. But with auto-submission, corporate employees are able to give directly to a nonprofit, whether through their site or the peer-to-peer fundraising events that their friends and family are participating in. And from there, submitting their match requests to the companies they work for is so quick and easy that there’s nothing to get in their way.

Benefits for Companies

Increased participation rates among employees⁠ — Companies benefit from matching employee gifts by increasing their levels of social responsibility, and consequently better appealing to existing and prospective consumers and team members. The more their employees participate in matching initiatives, the more the companies give to nonprofit causes, and the more their CSR is elevated. When employees see the benefits of matching gift auto-submission, they tend to increase participation in their employers’ programming. As a result, the companies offering the programs reap increased benefits of maximal usage of their initiatives that they invested the time and resources into developing in the first place.

Benefits for Corporate Giving Vendors

Higher usage and satisfaction among clients ⁠— Corporate giving vendors (or CSR platforms) design software with the intention to streamline and improve companies’ workplace giving programs like matching gifts. Offering auto-submission makes each key initiative easier⁠—not to mention, it leads to increased usage and satisfaction among corporate clients who are aiming to make their end users’ experiences as optimal as possible. In the end, this improves these software vendors’ SaaS renewal rates, aids in attracting new corporate clients, and overall drives up long-term revenue.

Not to mention, there’s the key benefit of better supporting nonprofit causes (including 75% of the largest peer-to-peer focused nonprofits who have it enabled) by elevating corporate giving revenue while reducing administrative burden with a more streamlined approach.

Matching gift auto-submission decreases roadblocks and increases benefits

Keep in mind that the quicker and simpler it is to participate in corporate matching gift programs, the more likely individuals are to take the required steps. As a result, organizations and companies alike can expect to see significantly more match-eligible donations being driven to completion⁠—which is a win-win for everybody!

How new auto-submission functionality works

Sounds great, right⁠—but how does it actually work?

Let’s take a look at a basic overview of the processes involved:

Step-by-step overview of the matching gift auto-submission process

  1. An individual makes a donation to a nonprofit organization. This step is typically business as usual. A nonprofit supporter fills out an online donation form, complete with basic contact information and payment details. Before you can get a gift matched, there has to be a gift made in the first place!
  2. During the donation process, the individual supplies the name of their employer. This will allow your organization to determine and communicate whether the individual qualifies for a donation match and can be done quickly and easily by embedding Double the Donation’s auto-complete company search tool.
  3. Matching gift program guidelines are provided. As soon as the donor is redirected to the gift confirmation screen, they’ll be met with matching gift criteria specific to their employer’s matching gift program. This should include minimum and maximum donation amounts, match ratios, qualifying employee and nonprofit types, submission deadlines, and more. This way, they can easily determine whether their donation is eligible for a corporate match.
  4. The individual is asked to enter their corporate email address. If eligible, the donor is asked to provide their corporate email address for the match request. Then, before clicking to submit their email address⁠ on the confirmation screen—and, by extension, their matching gift request⁠—the individual is asked to confirm that they give Double the Donation permission to submit a match request to their company on their behalf.
  5. The donor’s matching gift request is automatically processed. Double the Donation utilizes data collected during the individual’s donation process to provide the corporate giving partner platform with information to process the request. Data transferred will typically include the donation amount, organization given to, date of payment, and more.
  6. Finally, the match request is verified and approved. As a result, the employing company (often by way of its corporate giving platform) disburses match funding to your organization.

Matching gift auto-submission process

In the end, corporate matching gifts are paid out to your organization the same way as if an individual had manually submitted their matching gift request on their own. The steps running in the background to make matching gifts possible, however, are significantly simpler when automated⁠—especially when it comes to your donors’ side of the process.

Our trailblazing auto-submission partners

Double the Donation relies on partnerships with other innovative technology providers in order to expand its services and functionality. Matching gift auto-submission is no different.

Recently, we collaborated with these three companies to launch the new auto-submission component of our matching gift platform:

Employees of companies that utilize Milie’s software are now able to leverage matching gift auto-submission to more easily submit their requests for their companies’ approval. On the confirmation screen of their nonprofit donation (for organizations using 360MatchPro), the individual will be asked to enter their corporate email address.

Double the Donation Partners with Give Lively to Offer Corporate Matching Gifts Solution to 10,000+ More Nonprofits

Double the Donation, the leading provider of matching gift and volunteer grant solutions to nonprofits, is excited to announce the integration of its 360MatchPro corporate matching gift solution with Give Lively, a New York City-based tech company reimagining the future of nonprofit fundraising for free.

The rapidly growing tech company facilitates hundreds of thousands of donations every year for its 10,000+ nonprofit members, all of which can now benefit from industry-leading corporate matching gift automation from Double the Donation.

“We believe nonprofits, no matter their size, should not sacrifice their means to satisfy their missions. Our direct collaboration with them reflects this; their needs propel the development of our product,” said David DeParolesa, CEO of Give Lively. “Double the Donation addresses an area of fundraising that our nonprofit members find invaluable for their fundraising strategy. We’re proud to offer them the opt-in opportunity to add the 360MatchPro matching gift solution and open up new avenues for fundraising perhaps unknown to their donors.”

$4-7 billion in matching gift revenue is left on the table every year and the gap can be attributed to a lack of donor awareness of corporate matching gift programs. According to Double the Donation’s analysis, 78% of match-eligible donors do not know their company offers a matching gift program, and only 7% of donors at companies with matching gift programs get their gifts matched. 360MatchPro by Double the Donation ensures that every matching gift opportunity is identified, driven to completion, and reported back to the nonprofit — all automatically.

“Every nonprofit we speak with knows that corporate matching gifts are an important source of fundraising revenue, but many don’t know how to increase their matching gift numbers,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “The 360MatchPro platform closes the matching gift awareness gap by identifying match-eligible donors and guiding them through the complicated matching gift process, all without any manual action by the nonprofit.”

The Give Lively and Double the Donation partnership integrates in minutes and can raising your fundraising revenue by double or even triple the amount.

360MatchPro is now available on Qgiv peer-to-peer fundraising forms.

360MatchPro is now available on Qgiv peer-to-peer fundraising forms.

With the new integration, nonprofits fundraising through Qgiv peer-to-peer fundraising and auction forms now have access to the same matching gift identification and automation capabilities as those using Qgiv standard donation forms. 360MatchPro automatically identifies matching gift opportunities throughout the native Qgiv donation process, then follows up with donors to ensure that all opportunities are converted into additional revenue for nonprofits.

“We’re happy to partner with a provider like Qgiv that prioritizes client success so highly in technical decision-making,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “That mindset backed the expansion of our integration into Qgiv’s auction and peer-to-peer products.”

In the United States, $4-7 billion in potential matching gift revenue going unclaimed every year. The 360MatchPro integration offers nonprofits fundraising through Qgiv the opportunity to close that gap.

iModules Debuts Preferred Technology Partnership with 360MatchPro by Double the Donation

Double the Donation is proud to announce a new technology partnership with iModules. This partnership enables institutions to integrate employee matching gift automation platform 360MatchPro by Double the Donation, the leading corporate matching gift automation platform, with Encompass from iModules for a seamless donor experience.

“iModules is proud to support organizations that help our customers succeed with their corporate matching gift programs,” said Germaine Ward, Vice President of Product Management at iModules. “By aligning our Encompass solution with 360MatchPro, iModules continues to deliver on its commitment to helping higher education improve their fundraising efforts.”

Universities in particular are well-positioned to take advantage of employee matching gift programs. Although all corporate philanthropy programs involve different requirements for gift size, submission format and deadline, and eligibility of nonprofits to benefit from them, educational institutions almost always meet any corporate program requirements. That means a high percentage of the 15-19 million match-eligible individuals in the US alone can get their gifts matched when those gifts are made to a university.

“360MatchPro tackles the gap between the vast numbers of match-eligible donors and the revenue they could be raising for the universities they donate to,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “The reason for this gap is donor awareness of matching gift programs and processes. Our integrated solutions aim to provide the right information to the right donor at the right time to make matching gift request submission the natural next step of any eligible donor.”

The integrated solution tackles the $4-7 billion in corporate matching gift revenue left unclaimed every year by fundraising institutions. More than three-fourths of donors who are eligible to have their gifts matched by their employers don’t even know their company has a matching gift program. 360MatchPro and iModules automate the identification and outreach necessary to drive donor matches to completion.

With this information, 360MatchPro then delivers actionable next steps and actively follows up on each submission. You can automate and customize emails to fit your organization’s needs to drive gift matches to completion without putting more on your nonprofit’s plate. 

map donors to their company to match their gift

The autocomplete search tool powered by Double the Donation maps your donor’s entries to corresponding company names so you can keep your data streamlined and consolidated. The results are higher matching gift request submission rates and revenue, higher percentages of donors with current employment information on file, and a wealth of useful corporate philanthropy-related data for university teams.
