Matching Gift: Configure an Organization's Matching Gift Program

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. Salsa CRM provides you with a way to define how organizations define such a program and how foundations can track those matching donations. Salsa CRM provides reports identifying the current match rate that you are collecting and the ability to project higher collection percentages.

1. Select the Constituent record for which you'd like to configure a Matching Gift policy.
2. Select the Donations node on the left.
3. Select the Matching Donation Setup tab.
   
4. Select the Add Policy button. 
5. Enter the desired Description, Percent, Maximum, the Frequency of the donation from the drop down list, and any Note you wish to have associated with this policy.  The Description text box is a free field - it is not associated with the data in your database or required to contain a constituent/company name. The Percent and Maximum fields are numerical fields and do not accept special characters, such as $ or %, and decimal points.
