Double the Donation and UC Innovation enhance their matching gift integration

UC Innovation Enhances Functionality for their Preferred Matching Gift Integration, 360MatchPro by Double the Donation

/in , , /by

Double the Donation and UC Innovation are excited to debut new integration enhancements that will allow organizations to further streamline the matching gift fundraising process. This expanded functionality reflects the duo’s continued commitment to helping organizations grow their matching gift revenue.

UC Innovation’s preferred matching gift solution, 360MatchPro, already integrates with the ascend CRM to automate matching gift outreach to donors post-contribution. The new integration offering allows users to integrate 360MatchPro into ascend Portal donation forms – this will engage donors in the matching gift process even earlier in their donor journey. Using this functionality, organizations can uncover more match-eligible donors during the giving process and provide a direct link to matching gift next steps on the donation thank-you page.

“Double the Donation is the most advanced matching gift provider in the industry,” said Caroline Chang, Vice President, Product Strategy at UC Innovation. “Our clients love the streamlined integration between ascend and 360MatchPro, and we can’t wait to see their success with this new matching gift offering.”

This integration enhancement makes it easier to capture employment data from donors and automate segmented, tailored outreach. When a donor fills out their Portal donation form, 360MatchPro determines the donor’s specific matching gift eligibility and presents a direct link to the donors’ matching gift request form on the confirmation page, which is when the request is most timely.

“Although many donors are eligible to have their gift matched by their employee, donors often lack awareness about their eligibility or what steps they need to take to submit a request, “ says Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “This enhanced integration with UC Innovation will allow universities and nonprofits to more easily and effectively close that donor awareness gap. Those time savings enabled by automation can then be reinvested back into other areas of donor outreach and donor engagement.”

360MatchPro integrates seamlessly with UC Innovation’s donation tools to automate the matching gift process for donors. Leveraging this integration will enable organizations to initiate the matching gift conversation with donors while they are still in the giving mindset. In turn, organizations will drive more matches to completion and tap into the full potential of matching gifts as a fundraising source.

360MatchPro integrates seamlessly with Portal Donation Forms, making it easy to get up and running. Once you have your CRM integration settings configured, you can simply add the 360MatchPro Lightning Web Components to your donation form editor. This then allows you to identify more match-eligible donors and streamline the matching gift process.

By activating the donation form portion of the integration, you can ensure that no extra funding falls through the cracks. With this solution your donors will be screened for match eligibility during the donation process, and they will receive matching gift calls to action when those requests are most timely!

Transitioning to 360MatchPro by Double the Donation

Transitioning to 360MatchPro by Double the Donation | Grow Matching Gifts

/in , /by

At Double the Donation, we firmly believe in the power of evolution. Our commitment to improving our offerings and ensuring they align with advancements in the industry⁠—and, more importantly, with the needs of our clients⁠—has always been at the forefront of our operations.

In 2021, we made a significant change by retiring Double the Donation’s Legacy Basic and Premium Plans. These solutions were first introduced over a decade ago, and were, at the time, examples of groundbreaking matching gift technology. In the years following, however, we’ve continued to advance our software with a desire to focus on developing our most streamlined and effective platform: 360MatchPro.

Since the decision to discontinue the Legacy Plans was made in 2021, we’ve ceased selling subscriptions for new customers⁠—while allowing existing clients to continue their services uninterrupted. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that all subscriptions, upon renewal, will transition to our new and improved offering, 360MatchPro by Double the Donation.

Follow along to explore these key topics:

The upgrade to 360MatchPro will be available to all Legacy Basic and Premium Plans for no additional cost through their next renewal. We’re confident that each organization will start experiencing the transformative benefits of 360MatchPro right away.

The 360MatchPro Difference

So you’re transitioning to 360MatchPro, but you’re still not sure what to expect.

Let’s start with a general overview of Double the Donation’s best-in-class automation tool, then jump into how it stacks up against the legacy plans.

What is 360MatchPro?

360MatchPro is Double the Donation’s flagship product⁠—a complete matching gift automation solution. This platform incorporates the matching gift plugin tool commonly associated with the Legacy Plan but goes several steps further to proactively identify and pursue matching gifts.

Specifically, 360MatchPro incorporates…

  • A multi-faceted approach to uncovering match-eligible donors;
  • Timely and personalized follow-up email cadences;
  • Complete branding and personalization options;
  • Optimized data reporting and synchronization.

Check out this 60-second overview to learn more:

By transitioning to 360MatchPro, more matching gifts are driven to completion, resulting in substantial corporate and overall fundraising revenue growth for its users. And the entire process is automated for nonprofits and their donors, producing an optimized matching gift experience for everyone involved⁠.

This provides organizations with more time to devote to the most lucrative opportunities without worrying about potential matches slipping through the cracks.

Legacy Plan vs. 360MatchPro

360MatchPro includes everything offered by Double the Donation’s Legacy Plan, plus innovative new features that bring nonprofit and educational fundraising to new heights.

Take a look at the additional functionality offered by our automation solution, 360MatchPro.

Matching Gift Functionality Directly Within the Donation Process

Instead of taking a passive approach to matching gift promotions, such as with the Legacy Plan, transitioning to 360MatchPro allows organizations to integrate gift-matching directly within the donation experience itself.

To do so, the automation system empowers fundraisers to ⁠—

1. Collect donor employment information within the donation form with an embedded company search tool.

Bonus: Donors who know their gifts will be matched are more likely to increase the size of their contribution—resulting in a 51% increase in average gift amount when matching gifts are mentioned.

360MatchPro sample donation page

 2. Provide employer-specific matching gift guidelines and forms from our comprehensive matching gift database directly on the donation thank-you screen.

This catches donors at their highest level of engagement where they’re most likely to pursue actionable next steps outlined on the page.

360MatchPro sample confirmation screen

This strategy makes the most of donor engagement at its highest level⁠—while individuals are actively giving to support your cause. This essentially transforms matching gifts into a direct extension of the initial donation experience. And more donors are likely to take part when it is!

Automated and Customized Follow-Up Emails

Based on the information collected during the giving process, 360MatchPro automatically triages donors based on likely match eligibility and triggers targeted follow-ups accordingly.

These post-transaction email communications provide personalized program details and next steps⁠. This often includes minimum and maximum donation amounts, qualifying nonprofits and employees, submission deadlines, direct links to online request forms, and more.

Here’s an example of what an organization’s match emails might look like:

360MatchPro sample matching gift email

Automated matching gift outreach is a great way to remind donors of their match eligibility, encourage them to take the next steps, and guide them through the process. Not to mention, it provides an easy way for donors to update their request status so your team can better track matches to completion and more accurately forecast incoming revenue.

80+ Fundraising Software Integrations

Another fundamental advantage of transitioning to 360MatchPro is that it integrates directly with nearly all of the most popular donation tools, CRMs, and peer-to-peer fundraising platforms out there. This makes it easier than ever for nonprofits and educational institutions to incorporate matching gifts in every phase of the fundraising process.

Legacy Plan vs. 360MatchPro - the latter integrates with 70+ fundraising platforms

And if we don’t already integrate with your favorite giving solution? Don’t worry⁠—we’re developing new partnerships every day. Not to mention, there’s still a lot you can do by transitioning to 360MatchPro, even without a native integration with your fundraising software.

Exclusive Matching Gift Auto-Submission Functionality

If your team is looking for innovative ways to streamline the matching gift experience for your donors, auto-submission is the new feature you’re looking for.

By enabling matching gift auto-submission functionality, exclusively available through Double the Donation’s 360MatchPro in partnership with corporate giving software providers, matching has never been easier.

Legacy Plan vs. 360MatchPro - the latter offers matching gift auto-submission

Now, donors employed by select participating companies can submit their matching gifts directly from their favorite organizations’ confirmation screens. From there, 360MatchPro handles the documentation behind the scenes, providing companies with the information they need to review, approve, and pay out match requests.

This breakthrough process removes some of the most common roadblocks to matching gift completion, making corporate matching more accessible than ever before. Your donors will thank you, and you’ll have the additional match revenue to back it up, particularly as we continue to roll out the functionality for more donors and employers.

More In-Depth Data Reporting

Though the Legacy Plan provides access to birds-eye view statistics, such as the top companies searched in an organization’s matching gift plugin, transitioning to 360MatchPro brings the scope of matching gift data reporting to a new, comprehensive level.

Pictured in a sample dashboard below, 360MatchPro empowers fundraisers with smart insights into their current matching gift efforts as well as lucrative opportunities for expanding initiatives.

This 360-degree view includes analytics such as:

  • Total revenue, number, and percentage of donations marked as match-eligible
  • Total revenue, number, and percentage of matching gifts submitted
  • Total revenue, number, and percentage of verified matches received
  • Email delivery, open, and click rates

Legacy Plan vs. 360MatchPro in terms of data reporting

Benefits of 360MatchPro: Impact + Value

In the realm of matching gift automation, 360MatchPro has already made waves. Over 90% of active Double the Donation clients are now using 360MatchPro over our legacy plans.

These organizations’ successes have been extraordinary, identifying over 300 million dollars in matching gifts in just the last 12 months⁠. And that figure continues to grow more than 50% year-over-year!

Over time, it’s become evident that transitioning to 360MatchPro is more than an upgrade. It’s an opportunity to employ a transformative tool for nonprofits and education causes looking to implement effective matching gift fundraising with ease.

The overall benefits it offers are multi-faceted, and include (but are certainly not limited to) the following…

Automated Matching Gift Marketing and Workflows

Through its advanced functionality and extensive database, 360MatchPro identifies matching gift opportunities at the moment of donation. It then guides donors through the process, driving these opportunities to completion, and potentially doubling or tripling your matching gift fundraising revenue.

By automating this process, you can secure more matching gifts without adding extra work for your team. This means less time wrestling with data and more time focusing on your cause.

The platform’s intuitive design and functionality make managing your fundraising efforts a breeze. It’s a comprehensive platform that provides actionable insights, automates follow-ups, and offers streamlined reporting.

Seamless Data Ecosystem

360MatchPro integrates seamlessly with over 80+ donation tools and CRM systems. This means a smooth flow of data between your various platforms, reduced manual input, and enhanced accuracy.

Even better? Transitioning to 360MatchPro includes all integrations at no additional cost!

 

Enhanced Donor Engagement

With automated, personalized outreach, 360MatchPro ensures donors are always aware of matching gift opportunities. This not only drives donor engagement but also encourages repeat donations. By providing donors with information about their employer’s matching gift programs, you empower them to make their donations go even further.

More and Larger Donations

By making it easy for donors to discover and apply their employer’s matching gift programs, 360MatchPro can help you increase the size and impact of donations. Donors who know their gifts will be matched are often more motivated to give and give more generously.

Not to mention, our pricing is scaled based on a number of factors⁠—including the size of an organization and its individual fundraising amounts. The result is that smaller organizations pay less than larger ones.

All in all, pricing plans are designed to provide a significant return on investment⁠—producing match revenue at least 5-10x the initial investment. Some organizations have even identified enough matching gifts using 360MatchPro in a single day to cover the subscription cost for a year!

Announcing new matching gift auto-submission functionality

Announcing New Matching Gift Auto-Submission Functionality

/in , , , , /by

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:

/in , , /by

Double the Donation is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Arreva, trusted leader in fully integrated online fundraising and donor relationship management software.

Arreva clients may now activate matching gift functionality directly from Arreva’s fundraising software and include a streamlined matching gift search tool with the click of a button through 360MatchPro by Double the Donation, a robust, fully-automated matching gifts platform.

“We’re thrilled to bring yet another incredibly valuable integration to our clients through our fully integrated online fundraising and donor relationship management software,” said David Blyer, CEO of Arreva.

Susan Packard Orr, chairman of Arreva adds “Arreva is dedicated to our clients’ success by helping them optimize their fundraising through best-in-class technology and fundraising best practices. With 360MatchPro, Arreva clients now have a powerful new tool to increase average donation size and volume without asking more from donors. The streamlined integrated donor experience helps nonprofit organizations run successful matching gift programs with much less effort and greater results.”

Donors giving through the Arreva online fundraising form, integrated with 360MatchPro, will be automatically screened for matching gift eligibility and their transaction and employer information will be recorded in the Arreva platform. 

“Lack of donor awareness is the number one reason for the $4-7 billion in matching gift revenue left on the table every year,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “We are delighted to be working with Arreva and their many clients. Our strategic partnership with Arreva and integration of 360MatchPro with their fundraising platform closes the donor awareness gap for organizations, allowing them to significantly increase their matching gift revenue using Arreva’s robust software.”

The streamlined, frictionless integration between Arreva and 360MatchPro ensures that donors take advantage of the matching gift programs for which they’re eligible, helping nonprofit organizations maximize their fundraising opportunities.

Double the Donation is Proud to Announce Matching Gift Integration with Funraise

/in , , , /by

Double the Donation is proud to announce our latest integration with Funraise, a leading provider of innovative fundraising technology. 360MatchPro is debuting on the Funraise platform as the preferred matching gifts solution for Funraise customers.

360MatchPro is readily available for all of Funraise’s current and future customers to provide easy-to-use, fully-automated corporate matching gift capabilities. Once a Funraise customer has a 360MatchPro account, they are able to turn on the matching gift functionality directly within the Funraise platform, or they can create an account right then and there.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Double the Donation on behalf of Funraise’s customers,” said Justin Wheeler, Funraise CEO & Co-founder. “Their 360MatchPro product doesn’t just save our clients time and effort—this integration also increases donation revenue while ditching donor frustration during the donation process. It’s Funraise’s mission to do away with the nonprofit struggle using smart, nonprofit-led fundraising technology, which is why Double the Donation’s 360MatchPro is a perfect match with Funraise.”

By allowing users to embed Double the Donation’s advanced search tool across their website pages and giving forms, as well as encouraging the use of automated email marketing, 360MatchPro helps organizations to enlighten their donors about matching gift opportunities. The biggest hurdle to building matching gift revenue is the lack of awareness about these programs among donors.

“Funraise is such a great company to work with, and we are very happy to provide their customers with our advanced matching gift tools,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “With automated follow-up, these nonprofits are able to claim some of the $4-7 billion of matching gift revenue that goes unclaimed every year. We truly believe that, in addition to access to our thorough database of companies that offer matching gifts, automating the follow-up process revolutionizes existing matching gift programs.”

With 360MatchPro and Funraise, nonprofit organizations are able to identify match-eligible donors, track the status of those donors’ match requests, and automate the follow-up emails that will drive these matches to completion. The platform also provides actionable insights to help nonprofits shape their matching gift programs moving forward.

Soapbox Engage Selects Double the Donation for Matching Gifts

/in , , , /by

Atlanta, GA (February 20, 2019) — Double the Donation is excited to announce their latest partnership with Soapbox Engage, a platform created by PICnet and comprised of several online engagement apps for nonprofit organizations and educational institutions.

Soapbox Engage clients can now easily activate Double the Donation’s 360MatchPro within the Donations app. This automatically activates Double the Donation’s matching gift search tool on all of the donation pages within an organization’s Soapbox Engage platform.

Double the Donation-Soapbox Engage-Integration1

“Of course we’re always interested in offering our clients as many ways as possible to increase revenue,” said Ryan Ozimek, Co-Founder and CEO of PICnet. “With all of the client demand for Double the Donation’s matching gift tools, this integration shot to the top of our to-do list. This integration will allow our Soapbox Engage clients to increase revenue without lifting a finger.”

Lack of donor awareness is the biggest hurdle to collecting matching gift revenue, but this integration works to combat that lack of awareness. By embedding a matching gift search tool on every donation page, the organizations ensure that not a single donor misses out on the opportunity to discover matching gifts.

“Every year, $4-7 billion in matching gift revenue is left on the table each year,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “By providing tools like 360MatchPro, we aim to help as many organizations as possible claim their share of that revenue.”

In addition to the streamlined search tool on the Soapbox Engage donation forms, organizations using this integration will also have access to their own 360MatchPro platform. This tool removes the need for an employee dedicated to matching gifts.

360MatchPro provides actionable insights for enhancing an organization’s matching gift efforts, tracks all match-eligible donations, and automates ongoing email outreach to ensure that every matching gift opportunity is pursued.

These automated emails provide donors with their company-specific matching gift information. If a donor did not identify their employer, these emails will encourage them to check to see if they are eligible for matching gifts. Each donor is also provided with a button to report back to the organization that they’ve requested a matching gift.
