Overview

Using multiple integrations allows you to capture matching gift revenue that might otherwise be missed by tracking donors across different platforms.

Online Donations: Information flows directly from Bloomerang Fundraising (formerly Qgiv) donation forms.
Offline Donations: Gift data is automatically passed from the Bloomerang CRM.
Unified Automation: Double the Donation triggers personalized outreach to donors regardless of the gift source.

This allows your organization to uncover more matching gift revenue opportunities.

How it Works

The Bloomerang Fundraising (formerly Qgiv) and Bloomerang CRM integrations work together to ensure every eligible donation is captured for matching gifts.

Bloomerang Fundraising (formerly Qgiv) identifies match-eligible donors directly from your online donation forms.
Bloomerang CRM automatically passes offline gifts into Double the Donation Matching.

Once donation data is received, the matching module’s automation takes over—delivering personalized matching gift instructions and clear next steps that help donors complete their matching gift requests and maximize impact.

Double the Donation Matching Exclusion Rules

When integrating both a donation form and a CRM with Double the Donation Matching, the same donation can sometimes be recorded more than once.

This commonly happens when:

One platform includes processing or platform fees
Another platform records only the net donation amount
Offline and online gifts flow from different systems

Without exclusions, these records could appear as duplicates in the matching module.

Default Duplicate Donation Exclusion Rule

Double the Donation Matching includes a default exclusion rule designed to prevent duplicate records from flowing into the platform.

What the Default Rule Does

Excludes donation records with:
- The same email address
- The same donation amount
- Within a specified number of days

This rule should be enabled whenever you use multiple integrations.

Recommended Action

Enable the Duplicate Donations Exclusion Rule
Review the Managing Multiple Integrations guide before activating integrations

Custom Exclusion Rules

In addition to default exclusions, you can create custom exclusion rules to refine how donation records are imported.

When Custom Exclusions Are Helpful

Custom rules are especially useful when:

Multiple platforms send slightly different donation amounts
One system includes fees while another does not

20% Donation Amount Buffer (Highly Recommended)

To address common discrepancies, Double the Donation Matching allows you to:

Exclude records with:
- The same email address
- Donation amounts within 20% of each other

The 20% buffer accounts for:

Processing fees
Platform fees
Transaction fees
Industry-average variations

Once your exclusion rules are set up, you’re ready to integrate your fundraising platforms so donation data can begin flowing into your Double the Donation Matching account.

How Data Flows

Online donations are passed into Double the Donation Matching from Bloomerang Fundraising (formerly Qgiv).
Offline transactions flow into the matching module from Bloomerang.

This setup ensures that all eligible donations—regardless of where they are recorded—are captured for matching gift identification and follow-up.
