Benevity Causes Portal is free for nonprofits that want to receive matched gifts from Benevity's 965+ corporate clients, and Givebutter is the cheapest donation platform here with a free plan and Plus from $29 per month billed annually.

Adoption figures come from company filings, official releases or independent surveys, linked in each entry. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run hands-on tests. Scoring method

This list is for nonprofit and school fundraisers who want to find out which donors work for companies that match gifts, and then get those matches submitted and paid. It mixes three kinds of product: dedicated matching gift databases (Double the Donation, HEPdata), the corporate giving network where many employer matches are processed (Benevity), and donation platforms or CRMs that capture employer data and pass it to a matching tool. We ranked nine products on documented features (35 percent), adoption backed by a published customer or client figure (35 percent) and value at US prices (30 percent). We compared documented features and published prices on vendor pages and did not run hands-on tests. Prices that did not show in US dollars from our location are marked pending.

AssessmentDouble the Donation ranks first because it is the matching gift database most fundraising platforms on this list connect to: Givebutter, Funraise, Donorbox, Neon CRM, GoFundMe Pro and Raiser's Edge NXT all document an integration with it. Benevity Causes Portal is second because registration is free and it is how a nonprofit collects matched donations from companies that run their giving on Benevity. Givebutter is the best low-cost donation platform, with a free plan and Plus from $29 per month. HEPdata is the main alternative database, with 23,000 matching gift programs and 1,000+ client organizations over 20 years. Donorbox, Neon CRM, Funraise, GoFundMe Pro and Raiser's Edge NXT are where the donation or donor record lives; each needs a matching tool connected to get the full workflow.

  1. 1

    Double the Donation Matching

    8.9overall

    Matching gift and workplace giving database with automated donor follow-up, formerly sold as 360MatchPro.

    Best forNonprofits and schools that want the most widely integrated matching gift database

    Adoption data

    $1 Billion+Double the Donation says its tools have surfaced more than $1 billion in corporate matching gift and employee giving potential for its nonprofit and school partners.

    Double the Donation, About Double the Donation (2026): “$1 Billion+ Identified Opportunities”

    Double the Donation is the matching gift database the rest of the market plugs into. Its research team tracks 26,000+ employer programs, covering matching gifts, volunteer grants and payroll giving, and the company lists 100+ native integrations with donation forms and CRMs. The product, now called Double the Donation Matching and formerly sold as 360MatchPro, adds an employer search field to donation forms, screens every donation for match eligibility and sends automated emails to eligible donors until they submit. For donors at participating companies it can auto-submit the request. Pricing is published in part: Essentials is free to sign up and billed on usage for organizations reporting under $250,000 in contributions, with 3 seats and one form integration, while Standard starts at $999 per year with unlimited seats, CRM integrations and CSV import. The limits on Essentials matter, since most organizations with a CRM will need Standard. We compared documented features and published prices on Double the Donation's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Standard plan has a published starting price of $999 per year
    • +Every other donation platform on this list documents an integration with it
    • +Volunteer grant and payroll giving plugins included on Essentials

    Limitations

    • −Essentials covers only one donation form integration and no CRM integration
    • −Essentials is limited to organizations under $250,000 in contributions
    • −Enterprise pricing is quote only

    SummaryDouble the Donation Matching is the best choice for most nonprofits because it pairs a 26,000+ program database with 100+ integrations and follow-up emails. Budget for Standard at $999 per year if you need a CRM connection.

  2. 2

    Benevity Causes Portal

    7.9overall

    Free nonprofit portal for receiving donations, matching gifts and grants from companies that run giving programs on Benevity.

    Best forNonprofits that want to receive matches from Benevity's corporate clients at no cost

    Adoption data

    965+Benevity reports 965+ purpose-driven corporate clients and $16.8 billion in donations through its platform.

    Benevity, Benevity for Nonprofits (2026): “965+ Purpose-driven clients”

    Benevity sits on the other side of the match: companies use it to run employee giving, and nonprofits register through the Causes Portal to receive the money. Benevity says registration, a profile and receiving donations, grants and volunteers are free for nonprofits, and its nonprofit page lists 965+ purpose-driven clients and $16.8 billion in donations. Through that profile a nonprofit can receive employee giving including matching gifts, rewards and payroll giving, track grant applications across Benevity clients and post volunteer needs to a catalog seen by 900+ companies. What it does not do is find matches among your own donors. It has no employer search field for your donation form and no follow-up emails, so it complements a database such as Double the Donation rather than replacing one. For any nonprofit that has not claimed its Benevity profile yet, it is the cheapest step on this list because it costs nothing. We compared documented features on Benevity's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +No cost to register or receive donations
    • +Reaches employees of 965+ client companies
    • +Covers matching gifts, payroll giving, grants and volunteers in one profile

    Limitations

    • −Only covers companies that use Benevity
    • −Does not search your own donor list for match eligibility
    • −No integration with your donation forms

    SummaryBenevity Causes Portal is the best choice for collecting matches from Benevity's corporate clients because registration and receiving donations are free. Pair it with a matching gift database to find eligible donors in your own records.

  3. 3

    Givebutter

    7.8overall

    Free fundraising platform and CRM with sponsor match promotion and a Double the Donation integration for employer matches.

    Best forSmall nonprofits that want free donation forms with employer match lookup

    Givebutter is the low-cost way to put an employer match lookup on a donation form. Its own matching gift feature is free and is built for sponsor matches: a campaign page shows the match and the company or person providing it, with a logo and description. For employer matching, Givebutter documents an integration with Double the Donation's 360MatchPro that embeds a company search into Givebutter donation forms, fundraising pages and events, so donors see their employer's program after giving. The core platform, including forms, events, auctions and a donor CRM, is free when donor tips are enabled. Givebutter Plus adds automation and analytics from $29 per month billed annually for up to 250 contacts, with a 30-day trial, and the price climbs with contact count. The trade-off is that the database and follow-up emails come from Double the Donation, which is billed separately. We compared documented features and published prices on Givebutter's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Core fundraising tools are free when donor tips are enabled
    • +Plus has a published price from $29 per month
    • +30-day Plus trial with no commitment

    Limitations

    • −Employer match lookup needs a separate Double the Donation account
    • −Plus pricing rises with contact count
    • −Built-in matching feature is for sponsor matches, not employer program data

    SummaryGivebutter is the best choice for small nonprofits on a tight budget because forms, events and the CRM are free and Plus starts at $29 per month. Add Double the Donation for employer program data.

  4. 4

    Donorbox

    7.7overall

    Donation forms and donor management platform with a Double the Donation add-on for employer matching.

    Best forNonprofits that already use Donorbox forms and want to add employer match lookup

    Adoption data

    200,000+Donorbox says 200,000+ nonprofits worldwide have raised $4 billion with its platform.

    Donorbox, Donorbox Pricing (2026): “200,000+ nonprofits worldwide have raised $4B with Donorbox”

    Donorbox is a donation form platform that reports 200,000+ nonprofits worldwide and $4 billion raised. It has no matching gift database of its own; its pricing page lists Double the Donation among the add-ons and integrations billed as flat monthly subscriptions, and Double the Donation documents an employer search field for Donorbox forms with match steps shown after the gift. The Standard plan is free, with fees between 2.95% and 3.95%, and covers unlimited forms, donation pages, crowdfunding, peer-to-peer campaigns and event ticketing. Pro costs $150 per month and cuts fees to between 1.75% and 2% while adding advanced form customization, tracking and API access. For matching gifts specifically, Donorbox is a good host for the employer search but the database, follow-up emails and reporting come from Double the Donation. Its value score reflects that a nonprofit pays for both. We compared documented features and published prices on Donorbox's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Free Standard plan for smaller nonprofits
    • +Published Pro price of $150 per month
    • +Largest published nonprofit count on this list

    Limitations

    • −Matching requires a Double the Donation add-on at extra cost
    • −Free plan carries fees between 2.95% and 3.95%
    • −No matching gift database of its own

    SummaryDonorbox is the best choice for nonprofits already on Donorbox forms because Double the Donation plugs in as an add-on. Its free Standard plan keeps entry cost at zero apart from transaction fees.

  5. 5

    HEPdata

    7.7overall

    Matching gift database and automation tools for nonprofits and universities, formerly Affinaquest Matching Gifts.

    Best forUniversities and large nonprofits that want a long-standing matching gift data provider

    Adoption data

    1,000+HEPdata says 1,000+ higher education and nonprofit organizations have used its matching gift tools over the last 20 years.

    HEPdata, Our Story - HEPdata (2025): “including Texas A&M University and 1,000+ higher education and nonprofit organizations”

    HEPdata is the original matching gift data provider and has returned under its own name after years as Affinaquest Matching Gifts. Since 2025 the product has been powered by the Double the Donation team. HEPdata says it maintains a database of 23,000 matching gift programs and that 1,000+ higher education and nonprofit organizations, including Texas A&M University, have used its tools over 20 years. There are two products. eMatch Donor Link is a lookup widget that gives donors employer-specific forms, guidelines and contacts, and it works before, during or after a gift. eMatchPortal finds eligible donors in your database, tracks their donations and sends branded follow-up emails until the paperwork is complete. HEPdata does not publish prices and says it is still working toward platform integrations, which puts it behind Double the Donation on connectivity. Universities that already use HEPdata tools have little reason to switch. We compared documented features on HEPdata's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +More than 20 years focused on matching gift data
    • +Automation tracks eligible donations through to completion
    • +Used by 1,000+ higher education and nonprofit organizations

    Limitations

    • −No published pricing
    • −Fewer documented platform integrations; HEPdata says it is still working toward them
    • −Now run by the Double the Donation team, so it is not an independent second source

    SummaryHEPdata is the best choice for universities already on its tools because eMatchPortal tracks eligible gifts until the paperwork is complete. New buyers should compare it with Double the Donation, which the same team runs.

  6. 6

    Neon CRM

    7.4overall

    Nonprofit donor CRM from Neon One with a certified Double the Donation integration.

    Best forSmall and midsize nonprofits that want matching data on the donor record

    Adoption data

    7,000+Neon One says 7,000+ nonprofits in the US and Canada use its products.

    Neon One, Neon One (2026): “7,000 + nonprofits in the US and Canada use Neon One”

    Neon CRM is a donor database for small and midsize nonprofits, and Neon One lists Double the Donation's 360MatchPro as a certified partner integration. Neon One's partner page says the integration captures employment information through Neon CRM and Neon One certified partners and follows up with donors about their match. Neon CRM starts at $99 per month, with Events, Volunteers and Memberships modules priced separately, and covers supporter profiles, reporting, automated workflows, grant management and recurring gifts. Neon One reports 7,000+ nonprofits in the US and Canada and $26 billion raised since 2019. As with the other CRMs here, the matching gift database and follow-up emails come from Double the Donation, so the total cost is Neon plus a Double the Donation plan. The advantage is that the donor record, the gift and the employer sit in one system the development team already uses. We compared documented features and published prices on Neon One's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Published starting price of $99 per month
    • +Matching integration listed on Neon One's own partner page
    • +7,000+ nonprofit customers in the US and Canada

    Limitations

    • −Matching database and emails come from Double the Donation
    • −Add-on modules are priced separately
    • −No free plan

    SummaryNeon CRM is the best choice for small and midsize nonprofits that want employer data on the donor record because it lists a certified 360MatchPro integration. The CRM starts at $99 per month before a matching plan.

  7. 7

    Funraise

    7.1overall

    Free fundraising and donor management platform with a company match search on donation forms.

    Best forNonprofits raising under $1 million a year that want a free form with company search

    Funraise is a free, fee-based fundraising and donor management platform for organizations raising under $1 million a year, with Premium plans sold through sales. Its Company Matching feature adds a company search to donation forms so donors can look up whether their employer matches, and Funraise sends the matching donation data to Double the Donation to automate and track each match. Funraise also says its customers get special pricing on Double the Donation's 360MatchPro. The free plan covers donation forms and pages, recurring donations, events, donor fee coverage and donor management. Funraise does not publish a customer count, so we scored adoption conservatively, although it reports that customers grew online revenue 26 percent in 2025. Like the other platforms here, it captures the employer and leaves the program database and follow-up to Double the Donation. For an organization under the $1 million line, the form and CRM side costs nothing. We compared documented features and published prices on Funraise's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Free plan for organizations raising under $1 million a year
    • +Company search built into the form
    • +Funraise says customers get special pricing on 360MatchPro

    Limitations

    • −Premium plans are quote only
    • −Match tracking relies on Double the Donation
    • −No published customer count

    SummaryFunraise is the best choice for nonprofits raising under $1 million a year because its free plan includes a company match search on the form. Tracking still runs through Double the Donation.

  8. 8

    GoFundMe Pro

    6.9overall

    Nonprofit fundraising platform formerly called Classy, with a Double the Donation company search inside its donation forms.

    Best forLarger nonprofits running branded campaigns on the former Classy platform

    Adoption data

    200M+GoFundMe Pro says it is backed by GoFundMe and its community of 200 million+ people; it does not publish a separate count of nonprofit customers.

    GoFundMe Pro, GoFundMe Pro (formerly Classy) (2026): “now with the power of GoFundMe and its community of 200M+”

    GoFundMe Pro is the platform formerly called Classy, and it says it serves thousands of U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofits, now with access to GoFundMe and its community of 200 million+ people. For matching gifts it relies on Double the Donation: Double the Donation's integration page says it adds a company search tool directly within GoFundMe Pro's Studio and Embedded donation forms so the nonprofit captures employer data and identifies eligible donors as they give. That makes GoFundMe Pro a reasonable host for employer search on high-traffic branded campaigns, but the database, emails and reporting are Double the Donation's, billed separately. We could not see GoFundMe Pro prices in US dollars from our location, so its price is marked pending and its value score is conservative. The 200 million+ figure describes GoFundMe's wider community rather than GoFundMe Pro customers, which is why adoption is not scored higher. We compared documented features on GoFundMe Pro's and Double the Donation's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Company search works in both Studio and Embedded forms
    • +Campaigns can be found through GoFundMe
    • +Serves thousands of U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofits

    Limitations

    • −Pricing not published in USD from our location
    • −Matching database and follow-up come from Double the Donation
    • −Adoption figure covers GoFundMe's community, not GoFundMe Pro customers

    SummaryGoFundMe Pro is the best choice for larger nonprofits already running branded campaigns on the former Classy platform because Double the Donation's company search works inside its forms. Get a quote, since prices were not visible in USD.

  9. 9

    Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT

    6.7overall

    Blackbaud's fundraising CRM, with matching gift data added through a Double the Donation integration.

    Best forLarge nonprofits and schools whose donor records already live in Raiser's Edge NXT

    Raiser's Edge NXT is Blackbaud's fundraising CRM for organizations that run membership, annual giving and major gifts, with gift and finance data reconciled against Financial Edge NXT. It is on this list because so many large nonprofits and schools keep their donor records there, and matching gift work has to connect to it. Double the Donation's integration page says its Raiser's Edge NXT integration works with both online giving forms and the CRM, so matching work can reach gifts recorded in the CRM, not just donations made online. That is the main reason to pick this pairing over a form-only integration. Blackbaud does not publish Raiser's Edge NXT prices and the matching database is a separate Double the Donation subscription, so the value score is the lowest here. We did not find a published customer count for the product, so adoption is scored conservatively. We compared documented features on Blackbaud's and Double the Donation's own pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Integration covers both online forms and CRM gift records
    • +Gift and finance data stay reconciled with Financial Edge NXT
    • +Blackbaud has 45+ years in the social impact sector

    Limitations

    • −No published pricing
    • −Matching database comes from Double the Donation at extra cost
    • −Priced for larger organizations

    SummaryBlackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT is the best choice for large organizations already on it because the Double the Donation integration covers both online forms and the CRM. It is the most expensive route, with quote-only pricing.

Choosing a product

Separate the database from the donation form
A matching gift database holds employer program rules, forms and deadlines; a donation platform or CRM only captures the employer name. Double the Donation and HEPdata are the databases here. Givebutter, Funraise, Donorbox, Neon CRM, GoFundMe Pro and Raiser's Edge NXT capture employer data and hand it to a tool like Double the Donation Matching.
Check your revenue against plan limits
Double the Donation Essentials is limited to organizations reporting under $250,000 in contributions on their most recent Form 990, and its Standard plan starts at $999 per year. Funraise's free plan is for organizations raising under $1 million a year. Check those thresholds before you budget.
Register on the corporate side too
Many employers run matching through a corporate giving platform. Benevity says registering, building a profile and receiving donations is free for nonprofits, and its network lists 965+ client companies. A complete profile there means matches from those employees can reach you.
Count integrations, not just features
Matching only works if employer data flows automatically from every place donors give. Double the Donation lists 100+ native integrations, while its Essentials plan covers one donation form integration and no CRM integration. If you use more than one form or a CRM, budget for Standard.
Follow up after the gift
Most matches are lost after the donation, when donors forget the paperwork. Double the Donation and HEPdata's eMatchPortal both send automated emails to match-eligible donors until the request is submitted, which is the step a simple employer search field on a form does not cover.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best matching gift database?

Double the Donation is the best matching gift database for most nonprofits in 2026. It covers 26,000+ employer giving programs, lists 100+ native integrations and its Standard plan starts at $999 per year.

Is there free matching gift software for nonprofits?

Yes. Benevity says it is free for nonprofits to register and receive donations, including matching gifts, from its 965+ corporate clients, and Givebutter and Funraise have free plans with employer search through Double the Donation. Double the Donation Essentials is free to sign up with usage-based pricing for organizations under $250,000 in contributions.

Is 360MatchPro the same as Double the Donation?

Yes. 360MatchPro is Double the Donation's matching gift automation tool, now sold as Double the Donation Matching. Several platforms on this list, including Givebutter, Funraise and Neon CRM, still refer to it as 360MatchPro.

What is the difference between Double the Donation and HEPdata?

Double the Donation is the larger and more integrated tool, with 26,000+ employer programs and 100+ integrations, while HEPdata reports 23,000 matching gift programs and 1,000+ client organizations over 20 years. Since 2025 HEPdata has been powered by the Double the Donation team.

How do nonprofits claim matching gifts from employers?

Most matches are claimed by the donor submitting a request through the employer's giving platform, so nonprofits need to tell eligible donors exactly where to go. Tools like Double the Donation and HEPdata's eMatchPortal email those steps after the gift, and registering on corporate platforms such as Benevity lets the employer pay the match to you.

How did you rank this matching gift software?

Each product is scored on documented features (35 percent), adoption backed by a published customer or client figure (35 percent) and value at US prices (30 percent). We compared documented features and published prices on vendor pages, checked in November 2026, and did not run hands-on tests.
