Our Recommended Approaches

We suggest creating dedicated pages for each search tool plugin, so donors can easily access forms, guidelines, and instructions for submitting matching gift requests. These pages will serve as call-to-action pages for your donors.

How to Add the Plugin URL

Once you’ve created the dedicated pages on your website, follow these steps to link them to your Double the Donation account:

  1. Go to Settings → Plugin Settings in your Double the Donation account.

  2. In the Plugin URL field, paste the URL of your dedicated matching gift, volunteer, payroll giving, or corporate sponsorships page. 

  3. Click Save Settings to apply the changes.

This ensures that automated emails sent to donors in the Identification In Progress stream will direct them to the correct page.

Examples of Dedicated Pages

Matching Gift Page Example

The matching gift page should feature a search bar for donors to easily find their employer’s matching gift program. Here’s an example of what this page might look like:

  • Text Example: “See if your employer will match your donation!”

  • Functionality: Donors can search for their employer and submit matching gift requests.

Volunteer Grant Page Example

Similar to the matching gift page, a volunteer grant page helps donors access volunteer grant information. Here’s an example layout:

  • Text Example: “See if your employer offers volunteer incentives!”

  • Functionality: Donors can search for companies offering volunteer grants.

Payroll Giving Page Example

A payroll giving page allows donors to find information about payroll giving programs:

  • Text Example: “See if your employer offers payroll giving!”

  • Functionality: Donors can search for companies offering payroll giving programs and access submission forms.

Corporate Sponsorship Page Example

A dedicated corporate sponsorship page allows prospective business partners to review available sponsorship opportunities, evaluate package tiers, and submit commitments directly to your organization.

  • Text Example: "Join us in making a difference. Become a sponsor today!"

  • Functionality: Prospective corporate sponsors can browse customized sponsorship tiers (e.g., Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum), view associated benefits and financial commitment levels, and click "Select This Program" to submit their company details directly through an embedded commitment form.


Why This Is Important

Adding these dedicated pages ensures that:

  • Donors and corporate partners are directed to the correct page: Supporters easily find the exact tools they need—whether submitting matching gift requests, looking up volunteer grant guidelines, setting up payroll deductions, or committing to corporate sponsorships.

  • Automated outreach is more effective: Follow-up and promotional emails link directly to the tailored landing page, providing donors and corporate partners with immediate access to specific forms, package details, and instructions.

  • Maximized corporate giving and sponsorship revenue: Organizations ensure supporters and business partners have all the context, guidelines, and interactive plugins required to complete matching requests, log volunteer hours, or select corporate sponsorship packages.

    FAQs

    Q: How do I add the plugin URL to my account?

      1. Matching Gifts, Volunteering, or Payroll: Navigate to Settings → Plugin Settings.
      2. Corporate Sponsorships: Navigate to Sponsorships → Manage Plugin → Embed.

    3. Click Save Settings.

     

    Q: Do I need to create separate pages for matching gifts, volunteer grants, payroll giving, and corporate sponsorships?

    A: While it is not strictly mandatory, we strongly recommend creating dedicated pages for each program plugin. Separating these tools provides a cleaner, targeted user experience—allowing individual donors to focus on workplace giving while business partners navigate sponsorship tiers without distraction.

     

    Q: What happens if I don’t use a dedicated page?

     A: Without dedicated pages, automated follow-up emails cannot direct users to a specific hub on your site. Donors may lack access to essential forms and guidelines needed to complete matching gift or volunteer grant requests, and corporate partners may not have a central location to review sponsorship packages and submit commitments online.
