Tips for Matching Grant Success

Clearly communicate to donors that they must look for the x2 money icon to ensure their donation is being matched.

Ask board members or others to put up a matching gift as their way of contributing – and then ask them to promote to their friends/colleagues

If you have multiple matching opportunities, keep an eye on them. You will want to close a page once the match has been met so that donors only contribute to current matching opportunities

Consider sending out 3 update emails staggered throughout Give to the Max Day – providing an update on your progress and encouraging donors to give throughout the day

Use the match to create a sense of urgency/excitement as part of your social media outreach

Offline donations can be added under the “Donations” tab, but don’t count towards the Give to the Max Day leaderboard

19

Customizing a Thank You Message

Thank You Video Videos pop up immediately after a donor makes a

donation.

Thank you message Add a few lines of text to make the thank you email

more personal. Consider adding special thank you messages for Give

How do I get started?

28

What happens whena donor makes a donation?

• The organization’s administrator immediately receives an email notification which includes the donation amount and the donor’s contact information (if it is not an anonymous gift).

• The organization’s administrator may access their organization’s donor report online at anytime. Report includes donor name, amount, date, donor address, email, designation, source and recurring gifts.

• The donor immediately receives an email from Razoo/GiveMN which is their IRS receipt . While the email thanks the donor, it is a thank you from Razoo/GiveMN, not from the organization. We strongly encourage the organization to follow up with a thank you note shortly thereafter.

• Donations are paid out the 10th of each month for the prior month’s donations.

29

What is the cost?

• Enabled by our strong partnership with U.S. Bank, GiveMN will apply a flat, simple 4.9 percent on donations to cover transaction costs – one of the lowest rates available to most nonprofits and organizations.

• There are no hidden or other required charges. No subscription fees. No setup costs.

• We offer Minnesota nonprofits great features and

make it clear how we work and how we can help.
