      Step #2: Add the code found in your matching module by going to "Settings" and then to API Keys. 


      Under "Embed Codes for Setup" select "Blackbaud NetCommunity" copy that code and enter it within the New Part Section. Select "Save".

       

       

      Step #3: Select "Site Explorer" and then "Pages & Templates". Create a new donation form or navigate to an existing donation form. 

       

       

      Step #4: Select the gear icon towards the top of the donation form and select "Edit".

       

       

      Step #5: In the edit menu, make sure the "Allow matching gifts" box is checked.

       

       

      Step #6: Select the gear icon again. Then click "Insert part."

       

       

      Step #7: Select "Double the Donation Matching Gifts" in the list of parts. Then press "Select."

       

       

      Step #8: Double the Donation tools should now appear in the Matching Gifts section on your donation form. We recommend submitting a few test donations to ensure that the tool is working properly. Continue to the next step to add DTD tools to the confirmation screen. 

       

      Example:

      Step #12: Locate where on the screen you would like the DTD plugin to appear. Paste the Double the Donation Embed Code into the HTML Source Editor and select "Save". Any formatting changes can be made in the text editor. 

       
       

      Note: We recommend including the following text:  

      1. A header for matching gifts

        1. Sample text: "Make Your Donation Go Twice as Far"

      2. Some information on matching gifts

        1. Sample text: "Did you know that many companies match donations made by their employees to our organization? To see if your company will match your donation and to access the appropriate forms, guidelines, and instructions, please use the search box below."

      3. If you’d prefer to add the plugin as an iframe, Double the Donation's matching gift iFrame:

        1. HTML code is <iframe height=“300”

          src=https://doublethedonation.com/api/iframe/insert-your-api-key

          width=“600”></iframe>

       

      Select Save before exiting the Edit menu.

       

      Example: The Piedmont Foundation's donation confirmation page

       

       

      You're all set! Double the Donation Matching is now active on your form.

      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 Blackbaud NetCommunity in your demo request form.

       

      Q: Can the "My Company Will Match My Gift" messaging be customized?

      Q: I integrate with NetCommunity and Blackbaud RE-NXT CRM. How can I prevent NetCommunity donations from being duplicated in Double the Donation Matching?

      A: You can set a custom filter so only non-NetCommunity records are imported from RE-NXT. Following the instructions here, set a filter for “Gift: NetCommunity Page ID (custom field)” that is missing. The following filter should then be visible in your matching module under Integrations → Manage:

       

       

       

      Q: Where else can I embed Double the Donation's plugin? 

      A: We recommend you create a dedicated matching gift page on your website to place matching gift information in the path of every website visitor, not just those already on your confirmation page. On this page, 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. Your dedicated matching gift page will become a useful resource to include in emails, newsletters, and direct messages.

       

      To install Double the Donation’s matching gift search tool anywhere on your website, simply copy and paste the same Embed Code that you used before. Take a look at an example from the Cat Rescue Club:
