How can I showcase a matching grant on Give.Asia?

The 1 to 1 corporate donation matching program is a powerful tool for charities, as it effectively doubles the contributions they receive from individual donors. This means that for every dollar donated by an individual, the charity receives an additional dollar from a corporate partner, significantly amplifying the total amount of support. This increased funding allows charities to enhance their programs, expand their reach, and create a more profound impact within their communities.

This feature is designed mainly for 1:1 matching, also known as dollar-for-dollar matching.

Setting up MatchUp

Step 1: Access the FREE MatchUp feature in your charity dashboard

By logging into your Give.Asia account, navigate to the event tab. Click on "Create MatchUp Grant" to begin.

Step 2: Select MatchUp Grant

In the menu, click on "MatchUp Grant".

Step 3: Create MatchUp Grant

Click on "Create MatchUp Grant".

Step 4: Enter Relevant Information

Fill in the following details:

• Corporate Name: Enter the name of the corporate partner.
• Logo: Upload the logo of the corporate partner.
• Matching Grant Amount (SGD): Specify the amount of the matching grant in Singapore dollars.
• Start Date and End Date: Set the start and end dates for the matching grant period.

After completing all the information, click "Next".

Step 5: Select Campaigns to be matched then click "Done"

Choose the Option that satisfy your needs

Option 1: Specific campaigns to cover some campaigns

or Option 2: All campaigns to cover your total campaigns.

Step 6: Track MatchUp Grant in the dashboard

Any matched donation will be updated on the dashboard.

After creating, you can review the newly created Matchup Grant to edit or delete if necessary.

When you complete, the result will be as followed:

• Once the MatchUp Grant is created, donors will see a 2X matching message on the campaign page and donation flow. This helps donors understand that their donation is being matched and can make a bigger difference.

• At the Charity page, all campaigns matched will be displayed with Logo 2X All donations are being matched.

  

This feature, MatchUp, not only makes it easier for corporations to participate in matching programs but also encourages more individuals to donate, knowing their contributions will be doubled. With Matchup, charities can focus more on their core missions while benefiting from increased and predictable funding.

By following these steps, you can effectively use the MatchUp feature to engage your donors, leverage corporate partnerships, and significantly boost your campaign’s success.

Important note for Tote Board matching

Tote Board recognises Give.Asia campaign links for its Enhanced Fundraising Programme. However, matching ratios, eligibility rules, and programme requirements may change from time to time.

Before setting up your campaign, please check the latest Tote Board policy and guidelines to confirm how the matching should be presented.

The Give.Asia MatchUp Grant feature is designed mainly for 1:1 matching, where every eligible donor dollar is matched with the same amount by the matching partner.

If the matching arrangement is not 1:1, we recommend that you do not use the MatchUp Grant feature. Instead, you can still host the campaign on Give.Asia and explain the matching arrangement clearly in your campaign title, campaign story, or donation appeal text, so donors understand how the matching works.
