This article walks through Double the Donation's integration with DonorPerfect.
Step-by-Step: Integrate Double the Donation Matching into DonorPerfect
Double the Donation 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. You’ll need a Double the Donation account to activate the matching gift functionality within this partner platform. Not a Double the Donation client? Schedule a demo at https://doublethedonation.com/demo-request/.
This guide will walk through how to establish a direct link between Double the Donation Matching and DonorPerfect. After a direct link is established, new donation records in DonorPerfect will automatically flow into the matching module. Donations made without an email address, such as cash or check donations, and donations made with a "Do Not Email" designation will not be imported into Double the Donation Matching.

Q: What records will flow into Double the Donation Matching from DonorPerfect?
A: Donation records will only flow into Double the Donation if they meet these requirements:
-
The record includes an email address.
-
The donor type is Individual (
DONOR_TYPE

The record type is Gift or Membership (
record_type = G or M
). -
Records excluded: grants, pledges, and fees.
-
Donations marked as Do Not Email are excluded.
Q: Where else can I embed Double the Donation’s plugin?
A: Create a dedicated matching gift page on your website. Add the plugin there so every visitor—not just donors—can look up their employer’s matching gift program.
