Donation Matching Programs
Double the Impact of Every Dollar Your Employees Give
Teleskope automates donation matching so every eligible donation triggers a company match without manual review, approval queues, or spreadsheet reconciliation. Administrators configure match ratios, eligibility rules, and cause restrictions once. The platform handles the rest, from match verification to disbursement tracking to impact reporting.
Why Donation Matching Campaigns Are Challenging
Donation matching software automates the process of verifying employee donations and disbursing a corresponding company contribution to eligible nonprofits. Teleskope handles this inside your existing employee communities, replacing the manual approval processes, mismatched records, and disconnected systems that cause most matching programs to run slowly, under-communicate, and underdeliver on their stated ratios.
Employees give but never request the match
When giving tools live outside the platforms employees already use, participation depends entirely on employees seeking them out. A separate login, a standalone portal, or a request form buried in an intranet page is enough friction to keep good intentions from becoming matched donations.
Match approvals pile up and slow everything down
When every match request requires manual review, administrators spend more time processing paperwork than managing the program. Approvals back up, nonprofits wait longer for funds, and employees lose confidence that the match will come through.
No one can say with confidence what the program has produced
When matching data lives across email inboxes, approval forms, and separate disbursement systems, producing an accurate picture of total matched dollars and participation requires hours of manual reconciliation. The number that reaches leadership is often an estimate rather than a fact.
Donation Matching Built Into the Platform Where Your People Already Are
Teleskope automates the full donation matching workflow inside Affinities, the same platform where employees already participate in community programs. When an employee makes an eligible donation, a match is triggered automatically based on the rules the administrator has configured. There is no separate request form, no manual approval queue for standard matches, and no reconciliation work at the end of the period. Donation matching extends a platform employees already trust with the amplification that makes corporate giving significantly more impactful.
How It Works
1
Configure your match program. Administrators define matching rules: the match ratio, per-employee cap, program period, eligible causes, and any special match initiatives running alongside the standard program. Multiple match programs can run simultaneously with different rules for different employee groups.
2
Employees give and matches trigger automatically. When an employee donates to an eligible nonprofit, Teleskope verifies the donation against program rules and generates the corresponding company match automatically. For offline or manually logged donations, employees submit a receipt and the match is processed through the approvals workflow.
3
Track matched impact and report results. Every matched donation is recorded in real time. Program administrators access a live dashboard showing total matched dollars, match utilization against budget, participation rates by employee group, and a cause-level breakdown of where matched funds are going.
