FAQs

Q: I don't have a Double the Donation Matching account. How do I get one?

A: Visit https://doublethedonation.com/demo-request/ to request a demo. Make sure you mention that you use Pledge It in your demo request form!

 

Q: Can I enable matching gifts on some campaigns but not others?
A: Yes. By default, Employer Matching is enabled on all campaigns, but you can disable it per campaign under Settings → Donation Options → Matching.

 

Q: Can I enable Double the Donation at the program level?

Q: Will donation fees be included in the gift total that flows into Double the Donation?
A:  Yes. If a donor gives $100 and covers any processing fees, the total gift, donation+fees, flows into Double the Donation.

 

Q: Will pledges appear in Double the Donation?
A: Yes, but only after the pledge is fulfilled (when the donor is charged).

 

Q: Where can I embed Double the Donation's matching gift search plugin?
A: We recommend that you incorporate Double the Donation's matching gift search tool across your broader fundraising. To install the search tool anywhere on your website, simply copy and paste the Embed Code from your matching module. 
 
We recommend that you create a dedicated matching gift page where you can explain what matching gift programs are and provide donors with a chance to look up their employer's program forms, guidelines, and instructions. This page can be used as a resource to be included in emails, newsletters, and direct messages.
