Matching Gifts: All You Need to Know to Double Donations

Matching gifts are one of the most powerful ways to increase fundraising impact, and they mean the same thing as matching donations. In a matching gift campaign, a company, supporter, or sponsor pledges to match donations made by individuals, effectively doubling or even tripling the total funds raised. While matching gifts are often associated with nonprofits, they are equally effective for businesses, schools, individuals, and other organizations looking to amplify their campaigns. Whether you're raising money for a charity, a community project, or a personal cause, matching gifts offer a simple yet highly effective way to maximize every contribution. Online fundraising platforms like *spotfund make it incredibly easy to launch matching gift campaigns online, helping you reach donors quickly through mobile and social media.
