Donation matching
Show supporters how much further their contribution will go with matched donations.
Campaign Pages and the Checkout Modal give you the option to run a matched campaign. For example, if a third-party sponsor agrees to match all donations made to a particular campaign within certain limits, you can highlight this information during the checkout process.
Fundraise Up does not facilitate the matching process.
This is different from company matching, where the supporter’s employer matches a donation.
Example of a Campaign Page with matching enabled, where a sponsor matches donations 1:1.

Matching rules

- Match ratio: The rate at which the sponsor will match donations. For example:
- 1:1 (default): The sponsor matches each donation dollar-for-dollar. If the supporter gives $10, the sponsor gives $10, and the final total donation is $20.
- 1:2: The sponsor gives double the donation amount. If the supporter gives $10, the sponsor gives $20, and the final total donation is $30.
Other possible options - Minimum matchable amount: The smallest donation amount that the sponsor is willing to match.
- For example: If the sponsor only matches donations over $20, enter 20.
- If all donations are matchable, leave this field empty.
