The employer matching search tool helps your donors check if their employer will match a donation—without you needing any special setup beyond what Bonterra already provides.
Do I Need an Account with Double the Donation?
No, not if you don't want one. Bonterra gives you employer matching for free through our automatic integration with CyberGrants. Your donors can search and find matching gifts without any account purchase.
If you do have a Double the Donation account, you can connect it to EveryAction to enhance your matching results. But this is optional—it's an add-on, not a requirement.
Step 1: Enable Employer Matching on Your Form
When you create or edit a contribution form:
-
Go to the Build Page step
-
Scroll to the Employer Information section
-
If you don't see it, click Add a Section and select Employer Information
-
Check the box labeled Show employer matching tool
Step 2: Customize the Section (Optional)
You can add:
-
A heading like "Check Employer Matching"
-
Descriptive text encouraging donors to search
-
Information about the impact of matched gifts
Keep it simple and action-oriented so donors understand why they should check.
Step 3: Test the Tool
Preview your form and test the search by typing in a few well-known employers. The tool will show whether those companies have matching programs and what steps donors need to take.
After Publishing
Once your form is live, donors will see the employer matching tool when they complete the form. They can enter their employer's name and find out if their company matches donations.
