Double the Donation Corporate Sponsorships: Frequently Asked Questions

 

Overview of Double the Donation Corporate Sponsorships

Double the Donation Corporate Sponsorships is designed to support organizations in securing and managing corporate support. It helps nonprofits attract corporate sponsors directly on their website, manage inbound commitments, and explore database-driven outbound grant and in-kind donation opportunities.

You can access the sponsorships module from the sidebar menu under Sponsorships in your Double the Donation account.

 

How Double the Donation Corporate Sponsorships Works

Double the Donation Corporate Sponsorships connects your website experience, corporate pipeline tracker, and corporate giving databases to help your team secure and manage corporate sponsorships.

1. Inbound Sponsorship Commitments (Plugin Experience)

Potential corporate sponsors interact with the custom sponsorship plugin embedded on your dedicated website page.

  • Corporate partners can view active sponsorship tiers (e.g., Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) and review key program benefits.
  • Sponsors can select a program package and fill out a commitment form with their company, contact, and representative details.

 

2. Commitments Review & Approval Workflow

When a sponsor submits a commitment via the plugin, it flows directly into your Double the Donation account:

  • Submissions trigger an in-app notification and appear in your Commitments Inbox.
  • Your team can review company details, requested tiers, contact info, and company logos.
  • Clicking Approve automatically adds an inbound card into the Won/Fulfillment stage of your Sponsorships Tracker.
  • Clicking Decline routes the entry to the Closed column.

 

3. Outbound Opportunity Search Directory

In addition to receiving inbound commitments, organizations can proactively identify prospects through our searchable directory:

  • Search and filter corporate grant opportunities and in-kind donation programs.
  • Review application eligibility criteria, max grant amounts, cycles, and submission instructions.
  • Click Add to Tracker to convert any directory finding into an outbound application card.

 

4. Visual Sponsorships Tracker (Kanban Pipeline)

All prospective opportunities—both outbound grant applications and inbound website commitments—are consolidated onto a visual Kanban board:

  • Track opportunities across custom pipeline stages: Prospecting, Proposal Sent, Active Negotiation, Won/Fulfillment, and Closed.
  • Open card detail views to manage expected financial amounts, due dates, custom internal notes, and corporate grant descriptions.

 

5. Sponsorships Dashboard Central Hub

The dashboard acts as your main central hub, summarizing your entire corporate sponsorship workflow:

  • View quick metrics on available grants and in-kind donation counts in the database.
  • Monitor a high-level pipeline summary across all deal stages.
  • Browse curated batches of featured opportunities recommended regularly.
  • Access quick links to manage sponsorship programs, appearance settings, and plugin embed codes.

Best Practices: Promoting Sponsorships on Your Website

We recommend creating dedicated landing pages on your website for corporate giving, keeping corporate sponsorships separate from individual donor matching gift pages.

  • Build a Dedicated Corporate Sponsorships Page: Create a clear page (e.g., "Corporate Sponsorships" or "Partner With Us") outlining your nonprofit's mission, community reach, and tax status.
  • Embed the Corporate Sponsorships Plugin: Place the plugin directly on your dedicated page so prospective business partners can evaluate program tiers and submit commitments online without manual paperwork.
  • Provide Direct Contact Info: Include direct contact details for your corporate relations team to accommodate custom or unique corporate sponsorship inquiries.

 

Double the Donation Corporate Sponsorships: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where do submissions from the embedded web plugin go?

A: Web submissions land directly in your account's Commitments Inbox under the Sponsorships Tracker menu. Once approved by your team, they automatically create a card in the Won/Fulfillment column of your tracker pipeline.

 

Q: Does the Sponsorships Tracker automatically submit applications to companies?

A: No. The tracker provides search access to corporate grant details and acts as an internal ticketing system to track applications and status. Formal application submissions must still be completed directly through the respective corporation’s official process.

 

Q: Can I customize the colors and text of the sponsorship plugin?

A: Yes. You can adjust heading colors, button colors, accent colors, title text, subtitle text, and call-to-action text by navigating to Sponsorships → Manage Plugin → Appearance.
