Many organizations match contributions their employees or other qualified persons give to approved nonprofit organizations. For example, AAA Concrete matches employee gifts on a two-to-one ratio. Kyle Bell, an employee of AAA Concrete, donates $100 to your organization. Because AAA Concrete matches employee gifts, your organization receives an additional $200 from AAA Concrete if Kyle’s gift meets the conditions set by AAA Concrete.
Matching gifts can be very important when you work with revenue. To increase your organization’s total donations, we recommend you research and track each organization’s matching gift conditions. On the Organization tab, you can add the matching gift conditions for an organization constituent. An organization that matches gifts may have several types of matching gift conditions, and the details for each type may differ. For example, the organization may match on a three-to-one ratio for donations from an executive and on a two-to-one ratio for donations from a full-time employee.
After you add matching gift conditions for an organization, the program considers it a matching organization. When you add an individual relationship for an organization or an organization relationship for an individual, you can select whether the organization matches the donations of the individual.
