Double the Donation aims to inform donors about matching gift programs offered by their employers, effectively doubling or even tripling the impact of their donations.

Matching gifts are a type of corporate philanthropy in which companies match their employees’ donations to nonprofit organizations. After an employee donates to a nonprofit, they can submit a matching gift request to their employer and the company will make an additional donation to the nonprofit.

By submitting a matching gift request, donors can significantly increase the impact of their donation. Those interested in donating to Trying Together should check if their employer participates in a matching gift program today.

Donors can now use the Double the Donation widget on the Give Now page to search prior to making a donation.

How Double the Donation Works

Once a donor makes a donation to Trying Together, they will be prompted to check for matching gift opportunities

The donor then enters their employer’s name into Double the Donation’s database, which uses an autocomplete feature to suggest companies. Double the Donation’s database identifies if the donor’s employer has a matching gift program and if the donor is eligible.

If eligible, the donor is guided through the process of submitting a matching gift request to their employer, often directly through the Double the Donation platform.
