Double the Donation and Feeling Blessed are now partners, providing an integration between Feeling Blessed online donation forms and 360MatchPro, the most advanced matching gifts automation tool from Double the Donation. 

“Feeling Blessed allows organizations to raise more from their supporters via an intuitive online and mobile experience,” shares Muhammed Tauseef Rab, Founder and CEO at Feeling Blessed. “We’re proud to now offer our clients the ability to maximize their fundraising with Double the Donation.”

The new integrated solution helps organizations raise more by helping donors identify their match eligibility and take their next steps to fulfill their matching gift requests from their employer. The partnership aims to close the gap of 78% of donors unaware of their employers’ matching gift program policies.

“We’re excited to offer nonprofits using Feeling Blessed the opportunity to streamline their matching gifts outreach and marketing to their donor and supporter bases,” says Adam Weinger, President at Double the Donation. “We’re looking forward to the value corporate philanthropy will provide to donors and nonprofits alike.”

Nonprofits who are mutual clients of Feeling Blessed and Double the Donation can identify match-eligible donors, automate timely outreach, and deliver back actionable analytics.

No IT or custom development work is needed for organizations to activate their 360MatchPro and Feeling Blessed integration!

Easily connect your 360MatchPro portal to your Feeling Blessed portal in just a few steps.

For donors, the process is seamless and intuitive. When a donor gives a gift to an organization with an active integration on a Feeling Blessed donation form, they’ll be asked to provide their employer name during the giving process.

Donors can search their employer name to discover their match eligibility.

If the donor is eligible for a matching gift from their employer, 360MatchPro will surface information about the company’s program on the Feeling Blessed Thank-you page. From here, donors can start their matching gift submission process with the click of a button – and organizations can manage automated follow ups from their own 360MatchPro accounts.

Double the Donation’s Year in Review: 2021

/in , /by

 

If you’ve been following along for some time now, you’ll know that 2021 was a big year for us over at Double the Donation. We partnered with fantastic fundraising solutions to provide thousands of mission-driven organizations with our constantly improving tools, working alongside nonprofits as they make their impact on the world.

Over time, we are continuing to develop our company, refine our products, and expand our network of social good. Let’s walk through a recap of what the past year has brought to our team!

Product Updates & Enhancements

We’ve made a lot of significant changes to the Double the Donation platform in the last year in order to provide increased functionality and streamline matching gift processes. These are some of our most impactful advancements:

  • Focusing on Double the Donation’s fully automated solution: We’ve phased out Double the Donation’s Legacy Plan (formerly “Premium Plan”) in order to focus exclusively on our more effective, comprehensive automation solution. Now, all organizations can make the most of their matching gift potential using first-in-class Double the Donation matching gift automation!
  • Launching multi-channel outreach: Thanks to a Twilio integration, we’ve rolled out multi-channel donor outreach⁠! This means fundraisers can communicate via automated SMS in addition to existing email functionality, reaching donors through multiple channels and providing opportunities for additional touchpoints.
  • Publishing real-time matching gift analytics: Our real-time matching gift dashboard (available online here) provides viewers with continuously updating information on our database development. This includes total company records, number and percentage of match-eligible donor coverage, form availability, and more!
  • Adding an end-of-year email stream: The end of the year can be one of the most crucial times for nonprofit fundraisers, and our new end-of-year email streams can help make the most of matching gifts. Our new customizable pre-written email templates allow you to retroactively follow up with match-eligible donors who had given previously in the year in order to boost year-end revenue.

 

For information on even more Double the Donation updates and enhancements, check out our product release notes. We’re always working to provide the best solution possible for our clients!

That is in addition to the 8,500+ nonprofits already using the platform, which includes all sorts of schools and universities, arts and culture organizations, health and human services groups, and tons of other 501(c)(3) organizations.

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

/in /by

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.

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.

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.”

This new functionality will provide nonprofits with greater donor touchpoints, increased identification methods and advanced two-way data synchronization.

The 360MatchPro and Classy integration has already served countless nonprofits in their automated matching gift fundraising efforts. With this solution, fundraisers were targeting the more than 26 million individuals who work for companies with matching gift programs.

“Classy strives to provide nonprofits with innovative, advanced technology, and 360MatchPro consistently provides the best gift matching automation for donors,” said Colin Manuel, Head of Product Integrations at Classy. “With this enhancement, our customers can leverage the full gift matching power of the industry’s leading solution alongside their Classy fundraising campaigns.”

The enhanced matching gift technology will make it both easier for donors to submit matching gift requests and easier for nonprofits to track these gift matching submissions. With increased calls to action and more data flow opportunities, nonprofits will be able to drive matching gift revenue simply and seamlessly.

“The fundraising landscape is ever-changing, and our industry-leading technology is designed to evolve with the needs of our fundraising community,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “We are committed to providing nonprofits with cutting-edge technology, and these enhancements will ensure that Classy users can continue to drive matching gift revenue easily and efficiently.”

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

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

/in , /by

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.
