Can my donor complete a matching gift online (if the matching gift company has an online matching gifts process)?
Yes, in nearly all cases the employee must initiate the matching gift process using either the company specific form or online submission process.
There’s a company called Double the Donation that enables nonprofit organizations to setup custom matching gift and volunteer grant websites for their donors and volunteers. This way donors can easily access the necessary guidelines, forms, or online submission process.
The company also publishes lists of top matching gift programs and volunteer grant programs.
For matching gift companies that have an online matching gifts process, the company will require that the donor, not the participant, submit the matching gift form online. To be sure that you are credited please ask your donor to put your name and participant ID in the “notes” field of the online form.
