Security and data protection are top priorities at Double the Donation, and in 2024, we took our commitment to the next level by achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. This integral milestone demonstrates our adherence to rigorous standards for security, availability, confidentiality, and processing integrity.
Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 assures clients like you—as well as their donors—that their data is handled with the highest standards of security and care. Not to mention, it reinforces our role as a trusted partner for nonprofits that prioritize the protection of donor information.

Auto-submission enhancements
Enhancing the auto-submission functionality has been a major focus in 2024, making it even easier for donors to complete matching gift submissions without the added manual effort. Our most recent improvements to the auto-submission process mean that donors are prompted to auto-submit their matches at multiple touch points throughout the donor journey, increasing the likelihood that they ultimately do so.
All in all, these auto-submission enhancements reduce barriers in the matching process, driving more completed matches and enabling nonprofits to capture more matching gift revenue. And it’s all done with minimal time and effort!

Comprehensive matching gift database development
In the past year, Double the Donation has continued to strengthen its position as the leading resource for matching gift data with ongoing enhancements to our comprehensive matching gift database.
Today, our database contains over 24,493 company records, providing an extensive resource for nonprofits to easily identify matching gift opportunities across a broad spectrum of corporations. This robust database represents more than 26,802,622 employees, significantly expanding the reach of our clients to potential match-eligible donors worldwide.
With an estimated coverage of 99.68% of match-eligible donors, our database development efforts are ensuring that nonprofits can access nearly every available matching gift opportunity. These high coverage rates mean that donors are far more likely to find their employers and quickly complete matching gift submissions, maximizing revenue for the organizations they support.
Furthermore, our commitment to accessibility has led us to surpass our target for form availability, with 91% of matching gift forms accessible directly through our platform—which is well above our initial goal of 70%. This high form availability rate simplifies the submission process, making it easier for donors to complete matches quickly and effectively.
Our continued focus on database development reflects our dedication to helping nonprofits unlock the full potential of matching gifts. By providing comprehensive, accurate, and accessible matching gift data, we’re enabling organizations to connect with more donors, raise more funds, and further their missions with confidence.
