Q: Will all donors see the option for auto-submission?
A: Auto-submission options will appear for companies whose matching gift management platforms integrate with Double the Donation. For companies without integrated vendor management platforms, the matching gift plugin will appear with a direct link to the matching gift submission process, just like normal, like so:
Q: Does my nonprofit need to sign up with Field Day to receive the matching gift?
A: No, your organization will receive the matching gift regardless of if they are signed up with Field Day.
Q: Will the auto-submission option appear on my dedicated matching gift page?
A: No. Donors will only see the option to auto-submit a matching gift following the donation. If the matching gift plugin does not detect that a donation has been made -- for example, on your dedicated matching gift page -- donors will see the same matching gift program information and links as always.
Q: How does auto-submission work in your Double the Donation Portal?
A: Double the Donation will track not only the matching gift request submission but will also automatically update the status field in Double the Donation when the company approves the request. You can view this in your Double the Donation platform in the Donations tab as a colored flag in the Status column. Learn more about the most common statuses by matching gift vendor platforms (linked).
Q: How do I remove auto-submission from my Double the Donation tools?
A: To remove the auto-submission functionality for your donors, go to your organization profile in your Double the Donation account and toggle the Auto-submission switch to OFF.
