Have you ever wished that you could wave a magic wand and increase your donations? That’s basically how it works when you leverage Double the Donation’s 360MatchPro, Soapbox Engage’s new partner in matching gifts.

What are matching gifts, you ask? A matching gift is a donation made by a company to a nonprofit that an employee of said company has already donated to. So instead of one donation, your organization gets two!

In this article we are going to teach you:

1. All about matching gifts

2. How to market matching gifts

3. How to revolutionize your matching gift efforts


Let’s get started!

We're pleased to announce that recurring donations made to an organization through Soapbox Donations now automatically post subsequent monthly payments from the payment processor to Soapbox. What's more, these monthly payments are then posted to Salesforce for organizations who have enabled Salesforce integration. Updates to Salesforce support both the standard Enterprise Edition as well as the Nonprofit Success Pack used by thousands of organizations worldwide.

The Salesforce.org Nonprofit Success Pack matters. At Soapbox Engage, we get to see the difference it makes every day for the mission of the nonprofits we serve. And as a former nonprofit accidental techie, I am often caught up in thoughts of projects gone-by and how the Nonprofit Success Pack could have transformed efforts and increased impact.

Here are three scenes that often come to mind from this grizzled veteran’s nonprofit past. I humbly submit them, nostalgia-encrusted and mundanely personal as they may be, as emblematic of how the Nonprofit Success Pack has transformed nonprofit technology and why it matters.

With the latest update to Soapbox Donations, you can collect exactly the data you want from your donors using simple tools that open up powerful possiblities. Add virtually any Salesforce Lead field of you wish to a secure Soapbox Donations form easily and quickly. Define default values. Set hidden values to pass to the Lead record.
