Matching Gift Auto-Submission with Givinga - Double the Donation FAQ
Matching Gift Auto-Submission allows your donors to complete and send in their matching gift requests to their employers directly from the confirmation page widget on your donation confirmation screens. Double the Donation has partnered with corporate giving management platforms like Givinga to make this functionality available to many of your online donors.
The Benefits of Matching Gift Auto-Submission
Matching gift auto-submission functionality offers substantial advantages for corporations, nonprofits, and donors alike. Specifically, these benefits include:
For Companies: See elevated matching gift participation by offering the most streamlined process in the industry, increasing employee engagement levels, improving brand reputation, and more.
For Nonprofits: With auto-submission, more donors complete the match request process, meaning more corporate funding and increased donor engagement.
For Donors: Auto-submission makes it easier for employees to submit matching gift requests. This functionality allows them to kick off the matching process directly from the nonprofit’s website after their donation, and the process can be completed in just a few seconds.
Overall, auto-submission makes the entire match request process easier for everyone involved, from the initial donation to approval and funds distribution.

Auto-Submission Functionality within the Givinga platform
When a donor gives to your organization using an online donation form integrated with Double the Donation Matching, the Double the Donation matching gift plugin on your donation form’s confirmation page will include the option to complete the matching gift submission process immediately.
From here, donors may enter their corporate email address and indicate that they would like to opt-in for the auto-submission process. Donors will have the opportunity to select their requested match amount according to their employer's program parameters and their available matching gift funds.
Once the donor verifies their gift, they can submit their matching gift request without having to be directed to a longer process on a different website.
Data Sync from the Givinga platform to your Double the Donation portal
Givinga picks up matching gift submissions from Double the Donation Matching every 20 minutes. Then, the CSR platform sends matching gift submission statuses to Double the Donation Matching each night as matching gift requests are approved or denied by the company administrator within the Givinga platform.

Q: How can companies get started with matching gift auto-submission through Givinga?
A: To access auto-submission, your CSR platform needs to integrate with Double the Donation. We integrate with Givinga so corporations can seamlessly facilitate corporate matching, you may reach out to us at partnerships@doublethedonation.com
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 Matching. 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: 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 on the confirmation page of a donation form. 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: Can donors utilize auto-submission for gifts that are not made through an online donation form?
A: Yes! Donors who work for a company that offers auto submission can enter Double the Donation Matching from a CRM integration, CSV import, etc., and still receive an automated email from Double the Donation, which can then allow the donor to auto-submit their gift. So long as a donor is eligible for autosubmission, and clicks on a link in a Double the Donation Matching automated email, they will be directed through the autosubmission flow.
Q: How does auto-submission work in your Double the Donation Portal?
A: Double the Donation Matching will track not only the matching gift request submission but will also automatically update the status field in the matching module when the company approves the request. You can view this in your Double the Donation Matching 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 Matching 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.
