Table: Legacy Plan vs. Matching Standard Features
As of October 2021, Double the Donation no longer offers new subscriptions to the Legacy Plan (previously called the Premium Plan).
If your organization is looking to maximize matching gift revenue, we recommend the Double the Donation Matching Standard plan, which includes the matching gift plugin that was the core of the Legacy Plan — plus many additional features.
Why the Legacy Plan Is No Longer Available
Over the years, Double the Donation has evolved from a basic search tool into a comprehensive matching gift platform.
-
Legacy Plan clients only had access to an embeddable plugin with limited reporting.
-
The newer Matching Standard plan integrates directly with 70+ fundraising platforms, offers automated outreach, and provides detailed analytics.
-
Nonprofits using the matching module consistently raise significantly more matching gift revenue compared to Legacy Plan users.
Because of this, Double the Donation shifted all development toward the matching module to ensure nonprofits have access to the tools that deliver the best results.

Q: What’s the main difference between Legacy and Matching Standard?
-
Legacy Plan: A donor-facing plugin where visitors could search for their employer’s program. Admins could view only high-level stats.
-
Matching Standard: Proactively identifies matching gift opportunities, integrates with CRMs and donation platforms, sends automated reminders, and provides detailed analytics for ongoing optimization.
In short, the Legacy Plan is retired, and Matching Standard is now the recommended solution to help your nonprofit raise more in matching gift revenue with less manual effort.
