The integration is designed to help your nonprofit maximize your fundraising efforts and encourage volunteer engagement by leveraging corporate incentive programs.
We are thrilled to announce that VolunteerMatters has launched an exciting new integration with Double the Donation! This integration is designed to help our nonprofit partners maximize their fundraising efforts and encourage volunteer engagement by leveraging corporate incentive programs.
How It Works for Volunteers
When volunteers register for the first time or manage their “profile” on VolunteerMatters, they will now have the option to identify their employer. This employer field is connected to a comprehensive database of U.S. employers, allowing volunteers to easily find and select their employer from a vast list.
Once the volunteer submits their employer information, they will be presented with specific details about the incentive programs their employer offers, directly within VolunteerMatters. These programs can include:
- Matching Gifts: Information on whether their employer matches charitable donations and how to submit a match request.
- Volunteer Grants: Details on financial contributions employers may provide based on the number of volunteer hours the employee completes. For example, companies like Apple, Inc. donate $25 for each volunteer hour performed by their employees, up to $1,000 per year.
- Volunteer Paid Time Off (VPTO): Insights into whether their employer offers paid time off for volunteering, allowing employees to give back without sacrificing their regular work hours.
This feature will increase awareness among volunteers about these valuable programs, encouraging them to actively capture these benefits—either for their personal use (VPTO) or to enhance the impact of their charitable contributions through matching gifts and volunteer grants.
Benefits for Nonprofits through Double the Donation (360MatchPro)
With this integration, once a volunteer’s information and associated employer programs are captured in VolunteerMatters, they are automatically entered into Double the Donation’s centralized database, 360MatchPro.
Through 360MatchPro, nonprofits can:
- Track Corporate Giving Opportunities: Easily monitor which volunteers are associated with companies that offer matching gifts, volunteer grants, or VPTO, allowing for targeted outreach and communication.
- Automate Matching Gift Reminders: Automatically send reminders to eligible volunteers about submitting their matching gift requests, ensuring that no potential matching opportunities are missed.
- Generate Reports: Access detailed reports that provide insights into corporate giving activities, volunteer engagement, and potential revenue from these programs. This data can be used to optimize fundraising strategies and demonstrate the value of corporate partnerships.
- Engage More Effectively: Utilize the data to tailor communications with volunteers, thanking them for their contributions and encouraging further participation in corporate giving programs.
Subscription Requirement and Investment Value
Please note that to take full advantage of this integration, our customers will need to separately subscribe to Double the Donation’s service. We believe this is a wise investment, as the value generated from capturing matching gifts and volunteer grants will likely far exceed the subscription cost. By claiming matches and grants they are already entitled to, nonprofits can unlock significant additional funding and support their mission more effectively.
