Matching Donation Campaign

Peretz Goldshmid

Create an option to have a campaign, where every donation is matched dollar for dollar.
In other words, as an extra intensive for prospective donations. for every dollar donated it will show as 2 dollars (based on a major donor offering to match)

We use GiveLively for 90% of our online donations but once a year we use MightyCause.  They have a super matching gift option that lets you input the name and amount of the Match Donor, and then adds it into the running total for the campaign with each donor that makes a donation.  The match is accounted for offline which is critical, our larger donors don't want to be charge a fee for this option. You can see how we are kind of getting around this with our current campaign by updating the content every time we get a match and adjusting the offline totals. Needs to be easier.  I added some screen shots of how the MightCause site adds matching gifts.  We had had over 30 matching gifts year for $290,000, so we could put this to work.

I really would like this to work. We have 20 or more matching donations per year and could really use something to show our donors that the match is actually happening.

Wonderful idea!
