For Corporate Matching

Capture the corporate match on every donation

Most donors at most companies don't realize their employer will match their charitable giving 1:1, sometimes 2:1 or 3:1. The match goes uncaptured because the matching-gift form is buried in HR. ScanRaise generates a pre-filled matching gift form on every donation receipt, the donor submits it to their HR portal, and the company writes the matching check.

Why most matching gifts go uncaptured

The donor doesn't know about the program. Companies announce their match programs once a year in a benefits packet nobody reads. Most employees couldn't tell you whether their employer matches.
The form is friction. Even when the employee knows, finding the matching-gift submission form (often buried inside Workday, Concur, or a separate Benevity / DoubleTheDonation portal) and filling it in correctly is enough work that most people abandon halfway.
The nonprofit can't follow up. Without knowing who works where, the receiving nonprofit has no way to nudge donors to file the match. Most companies match 1:1 to 3:1 of employee donations, money that's just sitting on the table.
Reconciliation is a mess. When the match check finally arrives months later, matching it back to the original donation is a treasurer's nightmare. Most nonprofits just deposit the check without ever closing the loop.

How ScanRaise fixes it

Every donation receipt includes a "Request employer match" button. One click generates a pre-filled PDF matching-gift form with donor name, donation amount, recipient nonprofit name, EIN, and date.
Donor downloads the PDF, opens it in their HR portal, and submits. The form is correct, complete, and ready. Submission rate goes way up vs trying to recreate the form manually.
Donor optionally fills in their employer name, which gets stored on the donation record. The nonprofit can now report on which employers' employees give the most.
When the match check arrives, the nonprofit can reconcile against the original donation by matching employer + donor name. The full giving picture is visible: $X from individuals + $Y in matched corporate dollars.
No integration with DoubleTheDonation or Benevity required. The match request is just a PDF the donor submits to their own HR portal. Works for every employer that offers a match program, no matter how it's administered.

The math: why matching gifts are huge

Tech Sector

Microsoft, Google, and Salesforce match 1:1

Most major tech companies match 1:1 up to $5,000 to $15,000 per employee per year. A nonprofit running a campaign that captures 30% of donations from tech employees who file their match can effectively double the campaign total. On a $100,000 fundraising campaign with 40% tech-sector donors, capturing matches at the typical 30% rate adds about $12,000 in corporate dollars.

Banking & Insurance

BofA, Wells Fargo, GE match 2:1

Several banks and insurance companies match at 2:1, sometimes 3:1 ratios up to a per-employee cap. Capturing those matches turns a $250 employee gift into a $750 nonprofit deposit. Major fundraising leverage if the donor base skews toward financial services.

Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare

Merck, Pfizer, J&J match 1:1 to 2:1

Pharmaceutical and healthcare companies have some of the most generous matching programs. Standard practice for nonprofits in healthcare-cause spaces (cancer research, mental health, lung health) is to specifically reach out to employees of these companies because the matching multiplier is so favorable.

What types of organizations benefit most

Nonprofit annual fund

Annual giving campaigns benefit most. The donor base is broad, includes plenty of corporate employees, and the campaign already has a fixed window. Adding matching-gift capture can lift effective totals 15-30%.

Corporate team-building fundraisers

When a company runs an internal step challenge or walk-a-thon (see /for/corporate), each employee donation becomes match-eligible. The company writes the original check AND matches via its standard match program. Double-dip on the company's giving budget.

Educational institutions

Alumni giving programs at universities and private K-12 schools benefit because alumni often work at companies with match programs. Capturing the match doubles giving without asking alumni for more.

Disease-specific charities

Health-cause nonprofits (American Cancer Society, AHA, NAMI) benefit because pharma, healthcare, and insurance employers have the most generous match programs. Audience and match programs align.

Local and regional foundations

Regional United Ways, community foundations, and locally-rooted charities can capture matching dollars from local large employers (banks, insurers, hospitals, manufacturers).
