Matching Gift Integration

One of the most common questions received by Double the Donation’s sales and customer support teams is around the different ways to integrate matching gift information into a website or platform. We support three different integration options:

Host match pages on Double the Donation’s servers (designed for individual nonprofits)
Embed match information directly on the nonprofit’s website (designed for individual nonprofits)
Use our matching gift API (designed for fundraising platforms and service providers)

Host Matching Gift Pages on Double the Donation’s Servers

The easiest way for a nonprofit to share matching gift information with its donors is by building matching gift pages hosted on Double the Donation’s website. This option is included in all pricing tiers and can be done instantly through our online account set up process.

During the online sign up process you’ll choose a URL (ex. https://doublethedonation.com/xyzorganization) which will become your nonprofit’s custom matching gift website. You’ll enter basic information about your organization including:

A description of your nonprofit
Your organization’s contact information
Upload a logo
Choose a background color

That information is then automatically combined with our searchable database of companies which match employee donations or offer grants for volunteering into a site which you can share with your donors and supporters. Here are a few examples:

Example #1: Lafayette Partners in Education Matching Gift Page
(https://doublethedonation.com/lpie)

Example #2: Atlanta Botanical Garden’s Matching Gift Page
(https://doublethedonation.com/abg)

Sign up and build your own matching gift pages on Double the Donation’s servers.

Embed Match Information Directly on a Nonprofit’s Website

For organizations looking to integrate matching gift information directly on their own website, we also provide the ability to embed our matching gift widget.

This involves adding seven lines of code (generated automatically when organizations subscribe to select tiers) to the appropriate pages on the nonprofit’s website.

Insert our matching gift search functionality by using the code we provide

Suggested locations to include our matching gift widget include:

Dedicated match pages
Ways to give pages
Donation screens
Confirmation screens

Here are a few examples:

Embedded Example #1: New York Public Media
(http://www.thirteen.org/support/employer-matching-gift/)

Embedded Example #2: National Kidney Foundation
(http://www.kidney.org/matchinggifts)

Nonprofits can maintain a fully branded user experience by integrating our matching gift search directly into pages hosted on the nonprofit’s website.

Sign up and embed matching gift information on your own site.

Use our Matching Gift API

The previous two options were integration methods for a single nonprofit but Double the Donation also provides a matching gift API for partners such as:

Peer-to-peer fundraising platforms
Donor management / CRM software
Online donation platforms
And any other companies interested in providing employee matching gift data to nonprofits and their donors

Our API provides complete access to the raw matching gift data making it easy for you to incorporate matching gift information into your company’s own service.
