A matching program, if offered by your employer, lets you request a match on donations to eligible nonprofits — doubling the impact of every dollar you give. Once submitted, your match request is reviewed and approved by your program administrator before funds are sent to the charity.
There are two types of match requests: online and offline. An online match request is tied to a donation made directly through the platform, where the match can be applied as part of the donation flow. An offline match request is for donations made outside of the platform — such as by check, cash, or through another website — where you submit the details manually to request a company match.
