Importing an employer append file
Navigate to "Employer Append" --> "New Import" to find the import wizard for employer append records.
Step #1: Download the sample file by selecting "View sample CSV employer append file." Ensure your employer append file matches the columns in the sample report. Then, select "Choose File" and upload your employer append file.
Once your file has uploaded, select the time zone 360MatchPro should apply to your timestamps.
Step #2: Preview your records to ensure your columns have been mapped properly. Only the first 10 in your file will appear here.
Step #3: Map the companies in your file to the companies in the Double the Donation database. Select "Import Data" when you're done.
Viewing records from uploaded employer append files
Navigate to "Employer Append" --> "View." All the records from your uploaded files will appear in this table.
You can sort and search the table for values in any of the columns.

Note: Only donors and employers from the Employer Append Imports will appear in this table. Company names discovered by 360MatchPro will not appear here. You can find those in the Donations tab.
Reviewing employer append import history
Navigate to "Employer Append" --> "Import History." All your uploaded files will appear in this table.
You can also delete employer append files from this tab. We recommend only importing employer append files that you have high confidence are accurate. After import is complete, only limited undo capabilities are available.
Selecting "Undo"beside an employer append file means:
- the records in the employer append file will be removed from the View tab.
- the deleted employer append record doesn't get applied to future donations that are registered with 360MatchPro.
- any donations records that were impacted by the employer append while it was still active will not be reverted back to their previous state. That is, if an employer was found in the employer append file and added to the record, when the employer append file is deleted, the employer name will remain on the record.
Employer append workflows
After an employer append file has been successfully updated, 360MatchPro stores the combination of donor email address and company name for future reference. When a new donation record enters 360MatchPro in the Unknown Eligibility status, 360MatchPro attempts to match the donor email address against the employer append files that have been imported. If there is a match, the following occurs:
- The company field is updated with the company name from the Employer Append file
- The donation status is updated to Match Eligible
- The donor is put on the Match Eligible email stream
Exclusions and other notes:
- 360MatchPro only evaluates donations with a timestamp within 12 months of the Date of Employer Append, nothing after that.
- 360MatchPro only evaluates donations with an Unknown Employer status. 360MatchPro won't override any Ineligible statuses or any existing company information.
- Donation records that don't meet company program eligibility requirements will not be updated to the "Match Eligible" status, but the company name will be added to the record.
- When there are two different companies that have been associated with the email address in two different email appends, 360MatchPro will use the company that was assigned to the email address in the most recent Employer Append at the time of donation.
- When an employer append file is successfully uploaded, only new donation records that enter 360MatchPro after the file has been uploaded will be affected. No existing donation records in 360MatchPro will be affected by a new employer append upload.
If your account has activated the
Advanced Setting for historical records, this setting will be prioritized over the employer append record even if the timestamp of the employer append record is more recent. For example:
The account has the historical donations advanced feature enabled. Jason donates in December 2021 and selects The Home Depot as his company. Employer append with a timestamp of January 2021 is uploaded in January 2021 that indicates Jason works at Verizon. Jason donates in March 2021 as Unknown Employer. 360MatchPro prioritizes the historical information of The Home Depot (since it was donor-reported and within the past 6 months) over the more recent employer append file.
