Blackbaud BBIS-Double the Donation FAQs

Q: I don’t have a Double the Donation Matching account. How do I get one?

A: Visit the Double the Donation demo request page to schedule a demo. Mention that you use BBIS in your demo request form.

 

Q: I followed the instructions above and made a test donation. When looking for the test donation in my Double the Donation Matching account, it appears First/Last Name and/or email address are missing from the donation information. How do I resolve this? 

A: This usually means the form has some non-standard naming conventions and our internal embed script is having a hard time scraping the page. Contact support@doublethedonation.com to troubleshoot. 

 

Q: Where else can I embed Double the Donation's plugin?

A: We recommend creating a dedicated matching gift page on your website. This page will help all website visitors, not just those on your donation form, understand matching gift programs and easily find their company’s matching gift guidelines and forms.

 

To embed the matching gift search tool, locate your embed code from your matching module. Full instructions are available here.
