Matching Gift Auto-Submission with POINT - 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 POINT 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 POINT platform
When a donor gives to your organization using an online donation form integrated with 360MatchPro, the 360MatchPro 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 the email address that they use to log into POINT and select “Next”. Then, Double the Donation validates the entered email address and presents the list of organizations in Point associated with that user profile.
The donor can then select the organization they wish to request their matching gift payment. Once the donor selects the opt-in box, they can submit their matching gift request without having to be directed to a longer process on a different website.
Data Sync from the POINT platform to your 360MatchPro portal
Each night, POINT picks up matching gift submissions from 360MatchPro. Then, the CSR platform sends matching gift submission statuses to 360MatchPro immediately as matching gift requests are approved or denied by the company administrator within the POINT platform.
For more information on matching gift statuses from CSR platforms in your 360MatchPro portal, check out our article, “ What is Matching Gift Auto-submission?”
Once your 360MatchPro account is set up and donations are flowing in, auto-submission will automatically be enabled for applicable donations. Just make sure you have completely filled out your Organization Profile to ensure all the information needed for a matching gift submission is available.
