What is Matching Gift Auto-Submission?
Matching Gift auto-submission allows employees of companies using your CSR platform to submit offline matching gift requests with ease, increasing matching gift program utilization and efficiency. When a user makes a gift on a nonprofit website's donation flow Double the Donation can help the user discover their company's matching gift program and encourage them to submit their matching gift request. Auto-submission allows us to submit a matching gift request on behalf of the user to their company via integrations with CSR platforms.
What is a Corporate Vendor Platform's role in the auto-submission process?
CSR platforms/corporate vendor platforms build an integration withDouble the Donation to achieve three core functions:
1. Retrieve matching gift requests from Double the Donation via API and present them to the appropriate company as an offline matching gift request;
2. Return status updates on matching gift approval processes to Double the Donation via API; and
3. Send and update matching gift program details for their client companies to Double the Donation to enable the connection.
Instructions on how to achieve the above three steps can be found in our integration documentation section within this portal.
Companies with matching gift programs managed by CSR platforms that integrate with Double the Donation do not experience any change in the way they see and approve offline matching gift requests.
What is Double the Donation's role in the auto-submission process?
Double the Donation's tool integrates with over 100+ of the world's leading fundraising platforms, appearing directly on nonprofits' websites and donation pages. A donor makes a gift on an integrated donation page and uses Double the Donation's search tool to find their employer from Double the Donation's database of over 27,000 companies. When a donor selects a company whose program is managed by a corporate vendor that integrates with Double the Donation, then Double the Donation will present the donor with the opportunity to auto-submit their matching gift request directly from the giving confirmation page. From here, donors enter their corporate email address and any other information required by the corporate vendor platform, then submit their gift automatically from this point.
The confirmation page plugin is what the individual interacts with instead of redirecting to the corporate vendor platform to fill out a matching gift request. Double the Donation then makes the matching gift request available to the corporate vendor platform as an offline matching gift request for them to pick up from the API endpoint.
