REACHING OUT TO CORPORATE MATCHING DONATIONS
Donors looking to get their gifts matched will need to submit a gift match request to their company. This process will vary slightly from company to company. We've created an email for you to send to eligible donors to help them get their corporate matching process started! Don't forget that your school keeps 100% of all corporate matching gifts!
Check out this interactive demo HERE to learn how! (Or read on below).
HOW TO EMAIL ELIGIBLE CORPORATE MATCHING DONORS:
- Go to the "Corporate Matching" tab on your Admin Dashboard
- Click "CSV" to download a spreadsheet of all the eligible donations
- Pull up the spreadsheet and copy/paste all email addresses into an email in the BCC field (be sure to use BCC!)
- Use the email template below to ask these donors to confirm if they filled out the paperwork with their company.
- And send!
If you get a response from anyone saying they haven't completed the corporate match for their company yet, encourage them to do it today!
