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: Does my nonprofit need to sign up with Selflessly to receive the matching gift?
A: No, your organization will receive the matching gift regardless of if they are signed up with Selflessly.
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 the matching module, 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 Matching?
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).
