Double the Donation and Blackbaud Enhance Matching Gift Integration with Raiser’s Edge NXT and Double the Donation

December 5, 2021/in Learning Center /by Adam Weinger

Double the Donation and Blackbaud are thrilled to debut their recent integration enhancements. This duo has teamed up to bring even greater matching gift functionality to their existing integration.

As a Premier ISV Partner in the Blackbaud ecosystem, Double the Donation offered a robust CRM integration, designed to automate matching gift outreach to donors post-contribution. This new integration update now functions specifically with RE NXT donation forms, allowing donors to identify themselves as match-eligible during the donation process – leading to greater donor reporting along with more tailored, personalized messaging and next steps.

“Double the Donation has proven to provide tremendous value in helping RE NXT customers take full advantage of matching gift opportunities,” said Ben Wong, Senior Principal Technical Product Manager. “This latest enhancement presents the matching gift opportunity directly to donors, which will help raise matching gift revenue as well as foster donor engagement and improve data reporting, and it’s delivered in a simple package that I know customers will love.”

This integration enhancement provides an additional touchpoint to donors when they’re most engaged: during the donation process. As the donor navigates through their typical giving flow, Double the Donation will work to identify matching gift opportunities and drive matching gift requests to completion.

“Many donors have trouble navigating the matching gift process, leaving nonprofits responsible for donor follow ups and outreach efforts,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “Our enhanced RE NXT integration allows nonprofits to transfer that responsibility to an automated solution so that they can increase their matching gifts while focusing their energy and effort on top priority tasks within their organization.”

Double the Donation works seamlessly with RE NXT, providing fundraisers with leading matching gift automation across nonprofit and educational industries. Using this enhanced integration, users can expect simple matching gift solutions to drive fundraising success.

DonorDock and Double the Donation Announce Matching Gifts Integration

November 9, 2021/in Learning Center /by Adam Weinger

The Double the Donation and DonorDock teams are excited to announce a new integration between DonorDock online donation forms and Double the Donation. Nonprofit organizations can now use the two solutions together to raise more from matching gifts by incorporating valuable company information and outreach to donors during the giving process.

“Our team is proud to unveil a partnership that allows our nonprofit clients to drive more value with every donor interaction,” says Matt Bitzegaio, Founder at DonorDock. “We hope that with this new integration, organizations will be able to start receiving more and more of the money left unclaimed each year in matching gifts.”

With $4-7 billion left on the table in matching gift revenue every year, the potential value for nonprofits leveraging automation is huge – and Double the Donation can help orgs reach that potential with easy autocomplete company search, clear and easy-to-use CTAs for donors, and automated follow up email streams to capture as many match eligible donations as possible.

“The Double the Donation team has identified lack of donor awareness as the number one barrier for nonprofit organizations receiving what they should each year in matching gift revenue,” says Adam Weinger, President at Double the Donation. “Our new integration with DonorDock is designed to close that awareness gap directly from the point of initial donation onward.”

So how do nonprofit organizations get started using the DonorDock and Double the Donation integration? The process is simple: organizations can enter their API keys retrieved from their Double the Donation account into their DonorDock account to get started. Once the keys are verified, the integration is live and active on DonorDock forms.

Here is where Double the Donation can go to work. The advanced matching gift tool will start requesting employer information from donors as those donors give on a DonorDock form. When a donor selects their company name or uses a corporate email address, they’ll be prompted to take the next steps toward their gift match directly on the confirmation page.

With the new integration, nonprofits can collect employer information, encourage donors to educate themselves about their own company’s corporate philanthropy programs, and take the necessary steps to double their impact!

3 Areas to Improve Your Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Results

August 21, 2021/in Learning Center, Marketing Strategies /by Adam Weinger

by Mark Becker, Founding Partner, Cathexis Partners

Peer-to-peer fundraising is big. According to a peer-to-peer fundraising study by NonProfit PRO and Frontstream, 43 percent of nonprofits engaged in peer-to-peer fundraising said that fundraising made up more than 50 percent of their revenue. And according to Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum’s Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Thirty, 2.2 million people took part in peer-to-peer fundraising programs in 2020.

Stats like these suggest that it’s worth investing more time in your peer-to-peer fundraising program.

So, let’s take a look at three areas where you can improve your peer-to-peer fundraising results:

1. Recruit more participants.

One key thing peer-to-peer fundraising requires to be successful is participants. Here are some ideas for recruiting more participants for your next peer-to-peer campaign or event:

Create powerful messages – To get your supporters excited about helping you raise funds, it’s important to have a compelling story. Make sure your messaging addresses key ideas, including:
- What makes your organization unique
- What impact you are having on your mission
- How your peer-to-peer campaign or event is solving a problem
- What the funds raised from your campaign or event will help your organization accomplish
- How participants can help you reach your fundraising goals
Make your story easy to understand and share – Make sure the messaging for your peer-to-peer fundraising campaign is easy to:
- Understand – It should be obvious why your organization has launched the peer-to-peer fundraising campaign.
- Convey – Your message should be simple enough for your supporters to easily explain to others.
- Share – Your peer-to-peer fundraising tools should make it easy for participants to share your message.
Analyze your data – Take time to gather, analyze and use data from your past peer-to-peer campaigns or events to uncover trends and find new opportunities to improve your recruiting efforts. For example, review funds raised based on your top fundraisers’ connection to your organization. Understanding more about them can help you target your recruitment efforts with greater precision.
Do a “soft” launch – Consider doing a soft launch of your campaign in which you have staff members, board members, and your most involved constituents register to begin fundraising ahead of the official launch. Then, when other people come across the campaign, they’ll see that it already has an interest.
Build targeted recruitment emails – Segment your audiences and tailor messages for each segment for greater impact. For example, create email audiences based on past participation and past team membership. By doing so, you can send targeted messages, such as an early announcement email to those who have participated in the past and follow-up messages encouraging past participants to sign up.
Reach beyond your list – Think about other communications channels that reach beyond your constituent list: social media, your website, signs at your organization’s events, public service announcements, local morning TV news shows. All of these channels can be used to announce your campaign and recruit participants.

2. Motivate your participants to raise more.

Getting participants to sign up to fundraise for your organization (and providing them with basic details, sample emails, and suggestions about how to raise funds from their family and friends) is just the beginning. Your ability to reach your fundraising goals depends heavily on your ability to engage with your peer-to-peer participants and keep them motivated to raise funds.

Some ideas:

Issue social media challenges. Create social media challenges to get participants more excited about your campaign and help them engage with potential donors. For example, at the beginning of the week, issue a challenge via your website, social media, and email. Challenges can be related to your organization’s mission, such as “the participant who posts the most pet-themed photos wins the challenge,” or generic, like “the participant with the most donor selfies wins.” Then, promote the winner the following week.
Send out a call for videos. Ask participants to create videos to help inspire other participants. For example, ask your top fundraisers to develop a short video about why they’re raising funds for your organization or what have been their most effective approaches for raising funds from friends and family.
Provide incentives. Those who sign up for your peer-to-peer event or campaign have already shown interest in raising funds for your organization. But a little extra incentive can help you keep up the fundraising momentum. For example, offer a t-shirt, an online gift card, or another gift for participants who reach specified fundraising milestones.

3. Consider your peer-to-peer fundraising software platform.

The software platform you use to manage your peer-to-peer campaigns and events and to provide participants with the tools they need to raise funds is critical to your fundraising success. Be sure to periodically re-evaluate your software platform to ensure it’s still meeting your needs.

Here are three signs that it might be time for a change:

Your peer-to-peer participants aren’t as happy as they should be. Here are some signals that your participants are finding the online experience for your peer-to-peer campaigns and events difficult to navigate:
- Registration abandonment. If you see a high number of people abandoning the registration process, or if that number starts to go up, it might be a sign that you need software that supports an easier and more intuitive participant-facing online experience.
- Support requests. If you find your staff is receiving an increasing number of support requests for your peer-to-peer campaigns and events, it’s a signal that your software might not be as easy for participants to use as it should be.
- Survey responses. After each event or campaign, it’s a good idea to send participants a survey to capture their feedback. Be sure to ask questions about their online experience. They’ll let you know if the experience is clunky or outdated.
Staff productivity is decreasing. If your organization’s peer-to-peer fundraising team doesn’t seem to be working as efficiently as it seems like it should be, it might be time for new software. You might hear them say things like:
- It’s difficult to run reports and get the information they need when they need it.
- Making changes to the participant-facing design is difficult and/or they aren’t getting the results they expect after making changes.
- It seems to take too long to set up and/or edit a new campaign.
Your organization’s strategy is evolving faster than your software. As your organization evolves, it’s not uncommon for technology that once met your needs to no longer work for you. Here are some things to watch for:
- Your software will not integrate with your donor database/customer relationship management platform, email marketing platform, or other key software that your organization uses or plans to add soon.
- Your organization’s strategy has expanded to include more social media, apps, SMS, matching gift tools, and other technologies, but your software does not support or integrate with those technologies.
- Your organization has shifted money or resources toward other technologies, and you need a more cost-effective solution.

Whether you’re just getting started with peer-to-peer fundraising, or you’ve been at it for years, the approaches in this article can make a positive impact on your peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns and events.

Double the Donation and FlexFormz - Integration Announcement

Double the Donation and FlexFormz Launch Advanced Matching Gift Automation with 360MatchPro

June 15, 2021/in Learning Center /by Adam Weinger

Double the Donation and FlexFormz are thrilled to debut their technical integration partnership. This duo has come together to provide an automated matching gift solution to their nonprofit clients – helping these organizations target the 26 million individuals who qualify for employer matching gift programs.

“Employer matching gifts can make a real impact on nonprofits, and we wanted to provide our clients with the best possible avenue to capture these funds,” said Rebecca Vanderwerf, President of FlexFormz. “This new integration makes matching gift fundraising simple, and we can’t wait to roll out this feature for our users.”

The solution, 360MatchPro, is designed to identify match-eligible donors and then drive their matching gift requests to completion. Through an automated outreach process, fundraisers everywhere can increase contributions and fuel donor engagement without any unnecessary effort.

“We were instantly impressed with the FlexFormz donation pages, and we are so excited to add matching gift automation to this platform’s list of value adds,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “We’re confident that our combined solutions could make a lasting, positive impact on our fundraising clients.”

While matching gift programs are widespread, a lack of donor awareness leads to $4-7 billion in matching gift revenue going unclaimed each year. This FlexFormz and Double the Donation integration is designed to close the donor awareness gap and ensure matching gift funds don’t go unclaimed, but rather make a positive impact on the nonprofit organizations for which they were created.

360MatchPro integrates seamlessly with FlexFormz so that you can get up and running with just a couple of clicks. Simply navigate to your FlexFormz dashboard to download the Double the Donation add-on, then install the plugin to your WordPress website.

Next, add the 360MatchPro search field to your desired donation pages. This streamlined field allows donors to enter the name of their employer and discover their employer gift matching eligibility. Once the donor begins typing, the search bar then gets to work, scanning Double the Donation’s extensive matching gift database to map donors to their matching gift request form following the donation process.

By adding this functionality to your donation pages, you can begin identifying match-eligible donors during the contribution process – to then drive them to submit their employer matching gift requests!

After the donation process, donors can access their employer matching gift request forms both from the confirmation page and through customizable automated emails. These messages provide the donors’ company-specific matching gift request pages – meaning they can begin the matching gift process with just one click!
