If this has come up recently, I apologize - I couldn't find it. Anyone using HEP Development for Matching Gift assistance? Their recent email solicitation boasts: HEP is pleased to announce its latest product, MatchFormsDepot™, which will allow fundraising shops to email or snail mail a copy of their...

As you know, some companies have separate foundations to administer their matching gift programs. These foundations have addresses and sometimes names that are different from the corporate name. (i.e.. The Pitney Bowes Giving Station) How do you handle this? Do you make a separate constituent for...

Do you hold off on entering a matching gift pledge until the actual payment from the donor comes in each year? Our organization...

Hi, I have a query about matching gifts and was wondering if anyone could make some suggestions. We have a company who is a workplace giver. The individual staff members make a donation each pay (before tax and there is no receipting required on our behalf). The company matches the total amount donated...

Hi all, This may seem very obvious but I wanted to run it by all of you. At my previous job, they never acknowledged or receipted matching gifts.
