FAQs

Q: How can I promote payroll giving and corporate sponsorships on my website?

A: We recommend creating dedicated landing pages on your website for each category: matching gifts, volunteer grants, payroll giving, and corporate sponsorships. Embed the relevant plugin on each page to drive targeted engagement.

Q: What should I do if a donor can’t find their company in the search tool?

A: If the donor can’t find their company, encourage them to contact their company’s HR or workplace giving team. You can also follow up with the CSR vendor if the company should be in the database.

Q: Can I customize the information on the matching gift pages?

A: Yes! You can embed the search tool into your own website’s dedicated matching gifts page, allowing you to control the content, style, and additional resources available to your donors.
