What is a site-wide match/challenge?
GiveGab's site-wide matching feature gives you the ability to create dynamic matches and challenges that can be applied to the entire Giving Day, or limited to specific organizations or support areas within your Giving Day. You can also choose to restrict matches or challenges to specific donations based on a donor's donation survey response.
What can site-wide matches/challenges be used for?
Site-wide match/challenge functionality can be used for the following:
To create matches/challenges at a global level that can apply to the Giving Day as a whole. This means that the match will apply to all participating organizations without restriction. This type of match will be visible on all organization and support area profiles.
To create matches/challenges that only apply to specific organizations/support areas. In this case, the match will only apply to the organizations/support areas that are specified and will only display on those profiles.
To create matches/challenges that only take into account gifts made by donors who select specific answers to the donation survey questions.
What happens when a donation is matched?
What happens when a donation is matched depends on whether it is attributed to a match or challenge and whether or not auto-matching is set up. When a donation is matched, and auto-matching is turned on, an offline donation will always be generated and attributed to the organization/support area that the online donation was made to. When a site-wide challenge is met, the funds will automatically attribute to the general Giving Day totals, not the specific organization/support area that met the challenge goal. When a site-wide match or challenge is manually depleted, the amount is released to the whole day and not any specific organization/support area.
