Welcome to DonationMatch!

Thank you for applying to join the DonationMatch community! Whether you found us on your own or were referred by a company within our network, we’re thrilled to help your organization connect with donor companies, secure valuable in-kind donations, and access resources that can elevate your fundraising events to new heights.

Here’s What Happens Next:

  1. Compliance Review

    We’re currently verifying your organization’s exempt status, website, and contact information to ensure everything meets the standards expected by our network of donor companies. During busy periods, this process may take up to 3 business days. Keep an eye on your inbox for updates—we’ll notify you if we need additional information or when your access is activated. To ensure you don’t miss any important emails, add *hello@donationmatch.com* to your contacts and check your spam folder just in case.

  2. Add an Event

    Start by creating an event listing with details such as the date, location, audience, and how you plan to use the donations. This information is crucial for qualifying your event for donations from our network.

  3. Request Donations

    Once your event is published, head to the "Find Donations" section to browse and request donations that fit your needs. Requests will be sent directly to donor companies through our system, and decision-makers will respond to you directly. You might also receive donation offers from companies. You’re free to accept or decline them based on your event’s needs.

  4. Collect Items and Show Your Appreciation

    When companies respond, you’ll receive email notifications. Donation instructions, thank-you preferences, and downloadable materials (like gift certificates, when applicable) will be available in your Match Activity area for easy access.

Getting Started at the Free Starter Level

All new accounts begin at our FREE Starter level, which allows you to manage one event at a time, send one request per day, and have up to three requests approved per event. Looking for more flexibility? Explore our other support levels to see which plan fits your needs best.
