Can 360MatchPro integrate with Virtuous CRM and Classy?

This article walks through how Double the Donation can integrate with both Virtuous CRM and Classy to ensure complete matching gift coverage.

360MatchPro is the industry-leading matching gifts automation solution for nonprofits and educational institutions to identify more matching gift revenue opportunities and drive more matches to completion.

Overview
Double the Donation's 360MatchPro integrates seamlessly with your Virtuous CRM and Classy accounts. Using Virtuous, Classy, and 360MatchPro, your organization can maximize matching gift revenue and account for matching gift opportunities. These seamless integrations are used by countless fundraisers as they double donations with 360MatchPro.
 

How it Works

The Classy and Virtuous integrations allow you to seamlessly identify match-eligible donors from your donation forms and automatically pass all offline gifts from your CRM into 360MatchPro. Then, 360MatchPro's automation gets to work, providing the right matching gift next steps to donors to help them drive their matching gift requests to completion.

360MatchPro Exclusion Rules

When integrating a donation form and CRM (like Classy and Virtuous) to 360MatchPro, you should ensure that you review our "Managing Multiple Integrations" article, and that you have our default exclusion rules setup to stop duplicate donation records from flowing in to 360MatchPro. This exclusion rule prevents donation records that contain the same email address and donation amount within your desired period of days from being imported into 360MatchPro:

In addition to our standard exclusion rules, you can also set custom exclusion rules within 360MatchPro. This dynamic feature allows you to prevent your desired exclusions from being imported into 360MatchPro.

If you are using multiple integrations, such as a CRM and a donation form, each platform that records donation data might send slightly different amounts to 360MatchPro. For example, one system might include a processing fee in the total donation amount, while the other system removes all fees and just stores the donation portion of the charge as the total amount. In these cases, we highly recommend using the additional filter to exclude records with the same email address and donation amounts within 20% of each other. The 20% buffer is calculated to catch most of these discrepancies based on industry averages for processing fees, platform fees, transaction fees, etc.

Classy and Virtuous: Custom Filters

Most Virtuous and Classy users should take advantage of the standard 360MatchPro exclusion filters listed above, however, if your organization is an Enterprise 360MatchPro client utilizing the Classy two-way sync and offline gift syncing capabilities, then you can also incorporate the Classy set up and exclusion rules during your onboarding process. 

Ask your onboarding representative if your account qualifies for the offline Classy sync and therefore requires custom filter setup.

Once your exclusion rules are setup, you can integrate your fundraising tools so that data may begin flowing into your 360MatchPro account. Your online donation form donations will flow from Classy, and your other offline transactions will flow from Virtuous CRM. Navigate to the "Getting Started" section of this article to see your platform-specific integration guides.
