CharityEngine Exclusively Partners with 360MatchPro by Double the Donation Matching Gifts Platform

September 26, 2019/in Learning Center, Company Updates /by Adam Weinger

CharityEngine is excited to help nonprofits take full advantage of their fundraising potential through a new exclusive partnership with Double the Donation. The 360MatchPro automation matching gift solution by Double the Donation automatically identifies donors who are eligible for employer matching gift programs, then follows up with them to drive matches to completion.

“The value of this integration to our nonprofit clients are two-fold,” said Leigh Kessler, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for CharityEngine. “First, we’re able to drive increased revenue without donors increasing their donations through employer matching gift programs. But even more exciting is that our nonprofit clients can add an entirely new dimension to their fundraising strategy via insights into where their donors work.”

Nonprofits are currently leaving $4-7 billion in matching gifts on the table, largely because of a lack of donor awareness. The 360MatchPro integration with CharityEngine addresses this gap in donor knowledge of matching gift programs by delivering next steps directly to match-eligible donors on the confirmation page and in follow-up emails.

“Once the matching gift submission process is demystified, donors take advantage of their employer’s programs in huge numbers,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “360MatchPro provides the jump start that donors need after making a donation through CharityEngine forms.”

CharityEngine online fundraising can now be integrated with 360MatchPro in minutes. After implementation, nonprofits will instantly begin receiving highly detailed analytics about their donors’ employment, matching gift eligibility, and matching gift submission status.

360MatchPro uses specialized software to drive your gift matches to completion. The simple set up process will increase your donation power without adding extra effort for you or your donors.

To get started, contact Double the Donation for a 360MatchPro account. Then navigate to your selected donation form. Choose to manage this form, and add your provided 360MatchPro source code. This will allow the 360MatchPro search tool to appear on your confirmation screen.

The 360MatchPro search tool will show suggested companies for an efficient donation process.

Donors can use this search tool to enter the name of their employer. The confirmation page will then explain their company’s gift matching guidelines and how to proceed with the contribution. These donors will also receive an automated yet personalized email that further details these programs and encourages them to pursue their matching gift.

That’s all there is to it! This quick and easy set up is sure to increase your revenue while encouraging donors to pursue matching gifts from their employer.

Double the Donation Announces Matching Gifts Integration with OneCause Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Platform

OneCause Announces Double the Donation Matching Gifts Integration with Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Platform

July 30, 2019/in Learning Center, Company Updates /by Adam Weinger

Double the Donation is proud to bring OneCause, a leader in mobile and social fundraising, into the 360MatchPro partnership ecosystem with an integration to the OneCause Peer-to-Peer Fundraising solution.

“We’re excited to partner with Double the Donation and provide our nonprofit customers a new way to raise additional funds with their peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns,” said Dan Gross, Senior Director of Partnerships for OneCause. “Together we’re committed to improving the giving experience for donors with a more seamless way to increase their impact with a corporate matching gift.”

With the combined power of the integration, nonprofits can activate and manage their matching gift efforts with ease without even leaving the OneCause Peer-to-Peer Fundraising platform.

“An essential feature of the new OneCause integration is the match forecast,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “With this integration, donors see the highlights of their match expectancy before they donate, which encourages them to take advantage of the matching gift process. Then, 360MatchPro delivers their forms and instructions right to their inbox.”

The OneCause and 360MatchPro integration already has traction with users of both Double the Donation and OneCause’s services. Susan G. Komen Greater New York City has implemented the 360MatchPro integration for Komen Greater NYC Race for the Cure, which launched in early 2019.

“We’re longtime 360MatchPro users, and when we made the move to OneCause Peer-to-Peer, we knew that 360MatchPro was the missing piece,” said Glen Peck, Senior Director of Digital Communications at Susan G. Komen Greater New York City. “We loved how fast the integration process was, and we were kept in the loop along the way.”

The 360MatchPro and OneCause integration tackles the most substantial obstacle standing between nonprofits and their potential matching gift revenue: donor awareness. Even though 15-19 million individuals in the United States are eligible employee matching gifts, $4-7 billion in matching gift revenue goes unclaimed annually.

Activate in Seconds and Start Raising More from Matching Gifts!

The activation process is quick and easy thanks to the native integration of 360MatchPro into the OneCause platform. All a nonprofit organization has to do after acquiring a 360MatchPro account is to plug in their API keys into the designated field of the OneCause platform and they are ready to go!

Just plug in your API keys to get started

Activation is easy with simple API key plugin.

After this step, donors will be able to easily find if they are match eligible through the autocomplete search field powered by Double the Donation. A match-eligible donor making a contribution through the integrated 360MatchPro-OneCause Peer-to-Peer Fundraising form will know before they even check out whether their gift is eligible to be matched.

Search for your employer name with ease using 360MatchPro

Lead donors to their employer’s matching gift program.

360MatchPro’s signature streamlined employer search field prompts the donor to search for their company’s name, then automatically calculates and presents their match expectancy. The 360MatchPro tool makes gift matching a one-stop-shop for the donor, streamlining the matching gift process and raising the nonprofit’s probability of receiving a match!

With the sample job description, we’ll look at a general overview, key responsibilities, and the characteristics of a qualified candidate. Follow along for a deep-dive into hiring a matching gift specialist.

What is a matching gift coordinator?

A matching gift coordinator is simply the staff member in charge of all of your organization’s matching gift needs, from discovering which donors are match eligible to educating those donors about submitting match requests.

This is the staff member that, for a smaller nonprofit, directs donors to your organization’s searchable matching gift database or even searches donors’ information themselves. Or, on the other hand, if you’re a larger nonprofit– this is the staff member that manages your matching gift automation tool. Finally, after determining eligibility, this staff member follows-up with donors, starting the process.

Bonus! If your organization doesn’t currently have either of these tools and they seem like a good solution for you, visit Double the Donation to get started.

We’ve put together a sample job description for a matching gift coordinator that you can post on a multitude of great nonprofit job and career sites.

Five Companies Providing Volunteer Grants when Retirees Volunteer

January 9, 2013/in Volunteer Grant Companies, Lists and Rankings /by Adam Weinger

If your organization has a large number of volunteers, you’ve probably received volunteer grants, also known as Dollar for Doer grants.

Not familiar with volunteer grant programs?
Check out this article which outlines the basics of volunteer grant programs. It also provides an overview on how organizations can benefit from this source of corporate giving.

At Double the Donation, we help nonprofits raise more money from employee matching gift and volunteer grant programs. While we recognize that many company programs are geared exclusively towards current employees, some companies extend their grant programs to retirees who volunteer on a regular basis.

Five Companies which Provide Grants when Retirees Volunteer

Bank of America

Bank of America offers both a matching gift and volunteer grant program. Through Bank of America’s dollars for doers program, the bank offers the following two different thresholds of volunteer grants:
