The biggest hindrance to matching gifts is lack of donor awareness. With Double the Donation, Fundly CRM users are able to automatically identify match-eligible donors through email domain capture as well as self-identification directly on their donation forms.

“We are so excited to see that Fundly has integrated our matching gift tools into their CRM, offering all of their users a chance to enhance their matching gift programs,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “There are 15 million people in America who are eligible for matching gifts, and we’re looking forward to seeing how Fundly CRM users connect with those donors.”

Double the Donation has the most extensive database of existing matching gift programs, including more than 20,000 companies, subsidiaries, and spelling variations. Use of this database affords organizations the opportunity to follow through on every possible corporate matching gift donation.

Match-eligible donors are presented with simple, streamlined information about the matching gift program that they qualify for. They are also presented with direct links to the appropriate online forms or downloadable PDFs required to submit their matching gift requests.

/in /by

Double the Donation is excited to share news of a new partnership with Wilson-Bennett Technology, Inc. (WBT), a leading provider of educational and nonprofit fundraising programs.

This partnership situates Double the Donation as the exclusive provider of matching gift services to WBT, replacing the legacy solution managed by HEPdata.

All WBT clients now exclusively have access to 360MatchPro by Double the Donation, the industry-leading matching gift automation platform.

“Wilson-Bennett Technology has always taken pride in providing our clients with cutting-edge services and technology,” said Rob Schlitts, Division President of WBT. “The phonathon landscape is evolving, and we are continually making changes to meet and exceed our clients’ expectations. The phone still proves to be a vital avenue to generate donors and dollars. We are excited to partner with Double the Donation and know our clients will enjoy the powerful matching gift solution.”

The integration places 360MatchPro’s tools directly within Donor Connect call scripts for easy access and use. With 360MatchPro’s autocomplete search tool and matching gift information present directly in Donor Connect scripts, schools can start collecting valuable employer and matching gift data from their supporters, while those supporters get to double or even triple their contributions.

With 360MatchPro, callers can help identify more donors as match-eligible. A smart auto-complete algorithm dynamically pulls from Double the Donation’s comprehensive database of parent companies, subsidiaries, brands, and spelling variations to maximize the percentage of match eligible donors callers are able to identify.

Wilson Bennett Technology, Inc. announces switch from HEPdata to Double the Donation.

“Building and maintaining our database of companies that offer matching gift programs is really the core of our business at Double the Donation,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “A full-time, onsite team is dedicated to making daily updates to the database so that more than 98 percent of the 15-19 million match-eligible individuals in the US workforce will find their company’s program guidelines in our system.”

The matching gift program guidelines returned by 360MatchPro are written for a donor, not for a fundraising professional. Tailored for callers who need to convey complex information quickly and accurately, Double the Donation and Wilson-Bennett ensure that callers can easily provide the right information that encourages donors to take the next step and submit their matching gift request.

iDonate Reevaluates, Switches from Amply to Double the Donation

/in /by

Double the Donation is proud to announce a new partnership with iDonate, a fast-growing digital fundraising solution for nonprofits. Together, iDonate and Double the Donation are providing integrated corporate matching gift marketing automation to nonprofits and higher education institutions.

iDonate has enhanced both functionality and customer experience by substituting the previous solution by Amply with Double the Donation matching gift automation by Double the Donation, the leading provider of matching gift and volunteer grant software to nonprofits and educational institutions. All of iDonate’s clients who were using the Amply tool have been transitioned over to the enhanced Double the Donation offering.

“Based on client feedback, we reevaluated the matching gift solutions available from all vendors and invested in transitioning our clients to Double the Donation’s premium platform,” said Karen Tanker, Director of Customer Success at iDonate. “We’re excited to help our nonprofits better manage their matching gift efforts through the use of Double the Donation’s industry-leading software. The switch to Double the Donation is a major enhancement that provides more flexibility, enables more automation, and supports iDonate’s philosophy of investing in technology and tools that better engage donors personally and help nonprofit raise more.”

Through Double the Donation, organizations can identify more matching gift opportunities, automatically drive those matches to completion, and take further action based on advanced analytics and reporting.

“We couldn’t be happier to provide advanced corporate matching gift automation tools to iDonate users,” said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. “With more than $4 billion in matching gift revenue left on the table every year, automating the matching gift follow-up process is the key step Double the Donation makes easy for busy nonprofits and educational institutions.”

At its core, Double the Donation addresses a key lack of donor awareness about their employer’s corporate philanthropy programs. Donors want to make their support go further, they just aren’t always aware of the tools at their disposal. Through the native integration with iDonate, Double the Donation is more readily available to and affordable for more nonprofits and educational institutions.

Find out what happens when two spouses, who both work at matching gift companies, donate to a nonprofit.

Matching Gifts: When Spouses Both Donate to a Nonprofit

/in , /by

For most nonprofits, the topic of matching gifts is confusing enough as it is. However, the fine print can make it even more confusing, often turning donors away from taking advantage of corporate philanthropy. For instance, what happens when two spouses (both of which work for companies with matching gift programs) submit matching gifts separately to your organization?

Oftentimes, when a nonprofit’s fundraising team can’t find out the answer, the organization gives up when it could have received both matches. To fully understand situations like this, let’s dive into a few key questions:

  1. Are Both Spouses Eligible to Receive a Match for the Same Organization?
  2. How Can Nonprofits Promote Matching Gift Programs for Spouses?
  3. How Can a Matching Gift Database Help Identify These Opportunities?

Corporate philanthropy, like matching gift programs, is vital to nonprofit success. Let’s dive into common matching gift guidelines for situations like this.
When two spouses work for matching gift companies donate to your nonprofit, are they both eligible to have their donations matched?

1. Are Both Spouses Eligible to Receive a Match for the Same Organization?

In most cases, both spouses are able to submit a matching gift request to their respective employers. Assuming the standard case where companies match donations dollar-for-dollar, a single donation would effectively be tripled. We rarely, if ever, see a rule preventing a gift from being matched by multiple companies.

A more common occurrence is for both spouses to work for the same company that offers matching gifts. If that’s the case, one of three things typically occurs:

  1. The company will provide a double match. For example, rather than matching at a 1:1 ratio, the company will match at a 2:1 ratio.
  2. The company will provide the same matching gift ratio but will double the limit. For instance, instead of matching all donations up to $5,000 annually, the company will match donations up to $10,000 annually.
  3. The company provides the couple with the same benefit that an individual employee receives.

To stay up-to-date on your donors’ matching gift eligibility, jump ahead to learn about matching gift databases.
Learn how your nonprofit can promote matching gift programs to donors who are spouses.

2. How Can Nonprofits Promote Matching Gift Programs for Spouses?

Your organization may already incorporate many of our top ways to promote employee matching gifts, but don’t forget to also promote matching gifts for spouses.

For instance, do you provide donors with acknowledgement letters after they submit the matching gift request or upon receiving the actual grant from the company? If so, that would be a great time to encourage donors to ask their spouse if his or her company offers a matching gift program, too.

Simply reminding them that their donation could make even more of an impact increases the likelihood that they’ll look into it. Once a donor has gone through the match request process themselves, they’ll realize how straightforward it is.

From here, ask them to also find out if their spouse’s employer offers a similar program so the donation can be tripled! Since they’ve gone through the simple match request process themselves, they can relay the necessary information to their spouse.

Remember, if you subscribe to Double the Donation’s services, direct your supporters to your organization’s matching gift and volunteer grant webpage with our tool. That way, they can instantly determine their eligibility and submit the appropriate forms.
Learn how a matching gift database can clear up guidelines for donors who are spouses and both work for matching gift companies.

3. How Can a Matching Gift Database Help Identify These Opportunities?

While most employers will match both donations made by spouses, company guidelines do vary. As a nonprofit professional, you’ll need to stay on top of your donors’ personal data, such as their eligibility for matches through their employers. The research phase is an ongoing, arduous process. That’s where Double the Donation, the industry’s leading matching gift database, can help!

With Double the Donation, both your nonprofit team and your donors can instantly receive up-to-date information on their employers’ giving programs. This includes available guidelines, forms, requirements (e.g. donation minimums and maximums), and other relevant information. Plus, it easily integrates with other software, so you won’t have to worry about transferring all your data.

Plus, this comprehensive matching gift software enables email automation, customizable matching gift tracking, and other useful automation features!

With either platform, your nonprofit won’t miss out on important corporate giving opportunities. Whenever two spouses donate to your organization, they’ll instantly know if they are both eligible for matches through their employer, simply by searching their companies’ names. No more confusion on anyone’s part!

Matching gifts are not something your nonprofit wants to overlook. They’re fairly straightforward to acquire, but it can get tricky when two spouses both donate to your nonprofit. In some cases, they work for separate matching gift companies, and in others, they work for the same company. It’s all about making sense of companies’ guidelines.

Now that you know typical outcomes and how to identify these opportunities, start maximizing your matching gift potential!

  4. Employees register their donation
  5. Employees submit the matching gift request

The Best Way to Discover Matching Gift Opportunities

It’s difficult to capitalize on matching gift opportunities if your organization, and its donors, are unaware that these opportunities exist!

While many corporations offer these programs, not everyone does. Further, of those that do, each has different requirements for receiving a matched gift. Matching gift software handles much of the guesswork in building and managing your organization’s matching gift solicitation processes, whether you’re a large, established nonprofit or a smaller organization just beginning.

For example, a nonprofit that’s intent on improving its existing processes would benefit from software such as Double the Donation Matching. This matching gift automation platform not only searches a donor’s match eligibility upon donation but also sends follow-up communications to eligible donors informing them how to begin the process. By embedding this searchable matching gift database directly on your website and donation form, you can instruct donors to search their eligibility when giving.
