To help facilitate these corporate matching gifts, CFF uses a platform called Amply.

Amply has installed “widgets” which are components on most of our fundraising platforms that provides donors instructions on how to have their donation matched.

This site helps the volunteers and staff navigate their employer matching gift process.

Each CFF office chapter has its own access to Amply.

Amply provides instruction to donors on how to make their matching gifts through emails.

Yes! We encourage you and your participants to explore corporate matching gifts opportunities with employers.

Many employers have matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees.

Meaning, if an employee donates to a nonprofit, the employee’s corporation will donate money to the same nonprofit according to a predetermined match ratio (usually 1:1).

Matching gifts are a great way to increase the impact of their gift.

Companies with matching gift programs use a variety of platforms and processes for handling their employee matching gifts.
