Meanwhile, Double the Donation is the leading provider of matching gift and workplace giving solutions to nonprofits and educational institutions. The matching gift platform provides nonprofits with tools to identify match-eligible donors, drive matches to completion, and gain actionable insights. Double the Donation integrates directly into Ellucian CRM Advance to capture employment information and follow up appropriately with donors about matching gifts and other workplace giving opportunities.

Together, the two platforms are powering impactful higher education fundraising efforts, including for schools like these:

The partnership between Double the Donation’s 360MatchPro and Ellucian CRM Advance is designed to streamline the matching gift process for educational institutions, enhancing fundraising efforts through automation and data synchronization.

Here’s how the integration works:

Automated Matching Gift Identification and Outreach:

• Once connected, Double the Donation automatically scans gift records from Ellucian’s CRM to identify donors who are eligible for matching gifts based on their employment information.
• The system then delivers the appropriate matching gift forms and instructions to each eligible donor via email outreach, following up as needed to encourage completion of the matching gift process.

Two-Way Data Synchronization:

• The integration establishes a two-way data sync between Ellucian and Double the Donation.
• Data from donor interactions, including employer information and matching gift statuses, flows back into the Ellucian CRM, allowing institutions to monitor and manage their matching gift strategies directly within their existing platform.

Efficient Implementation:

• The partnership leverages Ellucian Ethos integration, enabling quick activation.
• Institutions can set up the integration by entering their Ellucian API key into the Double the Donation platform and mapping the data fields for the two-way sync, allowing them to start leveraging matching gifts promptly.

By implementing this integration, educational institutions can automate the matching gift identification and outreach process, maintain comprehensive donor records within their CRM, and ultimately increase fundraising revenue through enhanced matching gift participation.
