How Double the Donation Volunteering Works

The Volunteering Essentials plugin allows volunteers to search their employer’s name on your volunteer information pages. By doing so, they can quickly discover whether their employer offers any volunteer PTO or volunteer grants.

At this time, no donation data flows into your Double the Donation account, but the donor or volunteer can still learn about their employer’s volunteer benefits. This helps bridge the awareness gap, even if they don’t visit your organization's website directly to volunteer or donate.
