Leveraging Data from Double the Donation for Your Corporate Giving Strategy
The insights available in Double the Donation — including data on matching gifts, volunteer grants, and payroll giving — can be powerful tools to strengthen and grow your corporate giving strategy.
The figures provided across these modules can be used in donor stewardship presentations, partnership updates, or proposals to expand an existing relationship. Even if your organization isn't eligible for a company’s matching gift program, showcasing engagement through volunteer grants or payroll donations can present a compelling case for collaboration.
Top donors from a company — whether through gifts, volunteer hours, or recurring payroll contributions — could be passed on to mid-level or major giving officers for cultivation. These individuals may also be excellent candidates to become organizational champions. An organizational champion helps maintain and grow the relationship between their company and your organization by:
- Assisting with the matching gift process
- Encouraging payroll donations
- Coordinating volunteer activities and corporate volunteer days
- Supporting fundraisers or team captains for peer-to-peer events
