To view your “Matching Grants,” log in to givenola.org, click your name at the top right corner, in the dropdown menu that appears click your organization name, and your dashboard will pop up on the left side of the screen where you can find the “Fundraising Tools” option listed. In the center of the new screen that pops up, you’ll find the tile that says “Matching Grants.”

Within this tool, you can see any live matches you have. When a match is live, your donors will see a sticker or tag on your “Donate” button on your organization profile that says “# match live.” There will also be a tile located at the bottom of your organization profile that promotes the matching grant once it’s live.

When a match is not live anymore, it will appear in the “Past Matches” section of the “Matching Grants” page. When a match is not live yet, it will appear in the “Upcoming Matches” section of the “Matching Grants” page. To create a “Matching Grant,” click “Create” in the upper right corner of the page.

When the match is done, the money must be processed through the platform to count toward the prizes or Lagniappe Fund. If on the “Matching Grants” page you select “Include match value in page metrics,” your total on your profile will reflect the matching grant even if it isn’t complete yet. However, if the match hasn’t been completed in the GiveNOLA Day platform yet, it will not count toward prizes or the Lagniappe Fund. If a donor is sending a check to fulfill the match or donating directly to the organization that won’t get to the organization until after GiveNOLA Day to fulfill a match, those monies do not count toward prizes or Lagniappe Fund.

Once your match is done, you can add an email address of whoever you’d like to notify when a match is complete. The email will contain information like the amount of donors who matched it and at what amount and a fulfillment link that directs them to submit their gift online. It may be helpful if someone from your organization reaches out directly notifying them and offering to help them get it across the finish line. Through the fulfillment link, donors are welcome to pay via Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, Venmo, ACH, banking, or credit card. At that point, the gifts do count as online gifts and are added into your overall total raised, which factors in for the prizes and Lagniappe Fund.

You are able to queue consecutive matches to start one after the other as well.
