At Double the Donation, we partner with nonprofits across the country to help them increase their revenue through corporate matching gift programs and volunteer grants. We frequently receive requests from nonprofits asking for information on companies local to their area that offer such programs.

Using Matching Gift Tools
Dedicated matching gift tools can improve the solicitation processes for both small and large nonprofits alike. Whether you’re just building your matching gift discovery procedures, or improving your existing processes, these tools can aid in the process.
For example, Double the Donation’s comprehensive matching gift software can help streamline and automate the matching gift process from beginning to end. With this tool, a donor’s match eligibility is automatically searched upon their donation. Further, as the software is fully automated, the communications following the discovery of eligibility are handled for you as well. This tool is part of Double the Donation’s broader suite of workplace fundraising tools for nonprofits that make it easier for organizations to grow revenue from corporate giving programs.
