Overview of Double the Donation

Double the Donation is an end-to-end workplace giving engagement platform that connects donors, their employers, and your organization in one seamless experience. It brings together:

• Matching Gifts (Matching Module)
• Volunteer tracking (Volunteering Module)
• Payroll Giving (Payroll Giving Module)
• Corporate Sponsorships

By automating these programs, Double the Donation makes it easy for supporters to increase their impact at no additional cost to them.

What is Double the Donation Workplace Giving?

Double the Donation Workplace Giving helps organizations unlock more corporate support by making it easier to identify and act on workplace giving opportunities. This includes matching gifts, where employers match employee donations; volunteering, where companies may provide volunteer grants or paid time off for volunteer hours; and additional forms of support like corporate sponsorships and in-kind donations. 

By helping organizations uncover these opportunities and guide supporters through the next steps, Double the Donation makes it easier to turn everyday donor and volunteer activity into greater funding and impact.

What is Double the Donation Matching?

Double the Donation Matching is Double the Donation’s core matching gifts module. It’s designed to help your organization identify match-eligible donors, promote matching gifts at the right moments, and automate the follow-up process so more matches are actually submitted and received.

With Double the Donation Matching, you can:

• Promote matching gifts everywhere donors give
  Embed a searchable matching gift plugin on donation forms, confirmation pages, and key fundraising pages so donors can instantly check if their gift is eligible to be matched.

• Identify match-eligible donors automatically
  Use integrations with your donation platform and/or CRM to flag which donors work for companies that offer matching gift programs. Click here to access our Partner Directory!

• Automate personalized follow-up
  Send tailored, employer-specific emails after a donation is made, giving donors the exact steps and connecting them to available matching gift forms and company matching gift information they need to submit a match request through their employer. Click here to learn more.

• Provide self-service access to matching information
  Offer a standalone, embeddable plugin on your website so donors can look up their company’s matching gift guidelines, forms, and instructions at any time. 

In short, Double the Donation Matching connects your donors, their employers, and your organization—making it easier to uncover matching gift opportunities, streamline the donor experience, and grow your matching gift revenue with less manual work.

How it Works

We partner with a wide range of donation forms and CRM platforms to identify which of your donors are match-eligible. Through these integrations, Double the Donation:

• Surfaces Eligibility: Displays a searchable matching gift database directly within the donor’s giving experience.

• Automates Outreach: Sends personalized, employer-specific emails after a donation is made to guide the donor to their company's submission portal.

• Simplifies the Search: Provides an embeddable plugin for your website, giving donors 24/7 access to the largest database of corporate matching programs. Explore our Cat Rescue Club’s dedicated Matching Gift page to see a live example in action.
