Building a Matching Gift Strategy at Your Nonprofit

Tuesday, November 11, 2025 • Duration 11:21

Is your organization leaving free money on the table? Most nonprofit professionals dream of landing a massive corporate sponsor, but the true revenue revolution lies in optimizing the donors you already have. If you have ever felt the pinch of flat donation numbers or watched potential corporate partners slip by because of engagement gaps, this episode is your blueprint for growth. We are going deep on building a robust matching gift strategy that turns passive giving into a powerful engine for your mission.

Matching gifts are often viewed as a "nice to have," or a bonus if you can get it. But in reality, they are one of the most overlooked and underused revenue streams in the sector. Today, we change that narrative. You will discover five surprisingly actionable ways to turn corporate matching gifts from an afterthought into a consistent source of funding.

We explore how to remove friction from the giving process to improve the donor journey with matching gifts. Donors are busy; if they have to dig through spreadsheets to find if their employer matches, you have already lost them. We discuss how to create a "Clear Path Approach" that acts as the front door to doubling impact. We also dive into the importance of social proof. Humans connect to humans, not policies. You will learn how to leverage matching gift case studies and donor stories to normalize the process and inspire others to act.

Furthermore, we tackle the "Education Engine." Many supporters simply do not understand how corporate giving works or that their company even offers payroll donations or volunteer grants. By utilizing the right marketing matching gifts assets (like videos and internal training) you can make matching gifts second nature for your team and your donors. Finally, we connect the dots between the match and the mission, ensuring that donor retention remains high by showing supporters exactly how their amplified gifts change lives.

The Clear Path Approach: Discover how to remove friction and improve the donor journey with matching gifts by making eligibility search tools prominent and accessible on your website.
The Social Spotlight: Learn to leverage social proof by sharing matching gift case studies and donor stories that encourage others to check their own eligibility.
The Education Engine: Understand why consistent education is key and how to use resources to market matching gifts effectively to your supporter base.
The Recurring Reminder: Find out how organizations like Boys Town use consistent campaigns to keep corporate fundraising top of mind throughout the year.
The Mission Story Loop: Learn to tie matching gifts directly to impact, helping you master donor stewardship by showing where the extra funds actually go.

"Matching gifts are less about chasing corporate money and more about unlocking the full power of your community. You don't need a brand-new department; you need a new mindset."

Unlocking Recurring Revenue: Next-Level Payroll Giving Strategies for Nonprofits

Tuesday, October 21, 2025 • Duration 07:02

If you are ready to stop treating payroll donations as an afterthought and start treating them as a core pillar of your fundraising strategy, this episode provides the blueprint you need. From marketing ideas for nonprofits to technical implementation, we cover the essential steps to turn passive interest into active, recurring support.

Visibility & User Experience: Discover why placing payroll giving information front and center on your website (rather than burying them in menus) is the first step to increasing participation.
Leveraging Technology: Learn how integrating fundraising tools and plugins can remove friction from the donation process, allowing supporters to instantly identify if their employer offers companies with payroll giving programs or matching gifts.
Continuous Engagement: Understand why you must treat workplace giving as a year-round conversation rather than a seasonal campaign, and how to use marketing payroll giving strategies to nurture donors between major events.
Social Advocacy: Gain insights into using social platforms like LinkedIn to spread the word, empowering your team to share corporate giving opportunities with their professional networks to build peer-to-peer trust.
Connecting Purpose to Paychecks: Learn how to combat the "invisible" nature of automatic deductions by using strong donor stewardship to show supporters exactly how their payroll donation revenue is driving tangible impact for your cause.

"Payroll donors don't just want to give. They want to belong. Show them what they're part of every time you communicate."

Workplace Giving Infrastructure & System Readiness with Canvas Cloud's Benjamin Dolar

Monday, November 24, 2025 • Duration 29:37

Are your development officers spending more time wrestling with spreadsheets than building relationships with major donors? It is a common struggle: You want to pursue corporate sponsorships and increase fundraising revenue, but your data is trapped in disconnected systems that don't talk to each other. When your team is burned out by manual entry and "garbage in, garbage out" processes, your mission suffers.

In this episode, we sit down with Benjamin Dolar, CEO of Canvas Cloud, to dismantle the myths surrounding nonprofit technology. Ben shares his journey from the corporate consulting world to the nonprofit sector. We dive deep into why "saving money" on free tools often creates massive hidden opportunity costs, how to identify the fundraising software that actually serves your future goals, and why the right infrastructure is the secret weapon for unlocking workplace giving revenue.

The "Free Tool" Trap & Staff Burnout:Many nonprofits rush to grab every free application available to fix immediate pain points. Benjamin explains why this "band-aid" approach inevitably leads to a cycle of frustration and data fragmentation. You will learn how to identify when a tool is serving a point-in-time need versus when it is a scalable solution.

Escaping the "Data Silo Death Trap":If you are trying to scale corporate grants or matching gifts, you cannot afford to have your data living in different systems. We discuss the critical importance of a "relational system" that connects individuals to their employers. Learn how to stop missing out on simply because you didn't know your existing donor worked for a matching-eligible company.

Relationship Building: Cultivating High-Value Volunteer & Corporate Partnerships

Tuesday, December 16, 2025 • Duration 25:43

Are you leaving money on the table by viewing your fundraising events as purely transactional? Many nonprofits miss the crucial opportunity to use events—and even volunteer programs—as powerful platforms for donor stewardship and securing high-value corporate sponsorships.

In this episode of The Nonprofit Boost, host Amelia Baumann welcomes AJ Steinberg, founder of Queen Bee Fundraising, to dive deep into how you can shift your mindset from "we need money" to "let's build meaningful relationships." AJ, an expert in nonprofit events and fundraising strategy, shares her relationship-first philosophy for turning temporary volunteers into committed donors and securing long-term corporate support.

Discover the often-missed tangible and intangible steps you must take to cultivate a successful volunteer program, the power of a "know before you go" communication strategy, and how to create the organic moments that lead to fruitful corporate giving partnerships. Learn how to transform your existing board and committee relationships into warm introductions for new sponsors, and why leveraging your loyal customer base is key to securing your next major commitment. Plus, we discuss how to turn those invaluable volunteer hours into more revenue through programs like volunteer grants and Volunteer Time Off (VTO).

Fundraising Events: How to use events as stewardship opportunities to attract and cultivate new donors and high-value supporters.
Volunteer Programs: The essential, non-monetary experiences—like clear communication and showing impact—needed to build a successful and long-lasting volunteer corps.

Capital Campaigns: Feasibility and the Employee Data Edge

Thursday, January 22, 2026 • Duration 28:37

Are you leaving millions on the table because you're following a rigid, outdated fundraising map? Many nonprofits treat a feasibility study as a one-time "green light" check, but as expert guest Jill Anderson explains, it should be the living foundation of your entire capital campaign.

In this episode, Jill dives deep into the "art and science" of multimillion-dollar fundraising. She shares how she leveraged a fundraising feasibility study to actually increase a campaign goal by $10M—even amidst global uncertainty. We explore why your case for support must be tested against donor passions, and how to identify "red flags" in your donor journey before they stall your progress. Whether you are focused on major gifts or looking to engage the next generation of supporters, this conversation provides the data-driven edge your development team needs.

What You Will Learn:

Data Governance for Success in Workplace Fundraising

Monday, January 12, 2026 • Duration 39:10

Is your fundraising potential being held hostage by messy spreadsheets and "shadow databases"? We love to focus on the art of the ask, but without a foundation of fundraising intelligence, even the most flashy campaigns will fall flat. In this episode, Colleen Carroll sits down with Griffin Homan and Jeffrey Wat from Huron Consulting Group to demystify data governance.

They explore why simply "managing" data is a reactive trap and how true governance creates a "single source of truth" that empowers your entire team. We dive deep into the relationship between clean systems and donor retention, specifically looking at how collecting accurate employer data is the key to unlocking millions in matching gifts and volunteer grants. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by a data audit or struggled with siloed information, this conversation provides the roadmap to shift from transactional coding to long-term donor stewardship.

What You Will Learn

1. Management vs. Governance: Why managing data is reactive, while governance is the proactive strategy that treats data as a high-value asset.

2. Breaking Data Silos: How to move your team away from private notebooks and into a unified system to ensure reporting consistency.

3. The Prospect Coding Shift: Why you must stop coding for a single solicitation and start coding for the entire donor relationship to improve long-term donor stewardship.

4. Workplace Giving ROI: How automating your matching gift revenue depends entirely on the health of your employer data.

5. Sustainable Hygiene: Tips for creating a maintenance plan that prevents data decay without paralyzing your staff.

Gathering Money Left on the Table: Lapsed Donors, Corporate Matching Gifts, and Donation Page Optimization

Friday, January 9, 2026 • Duration 22:10

Are your digital systems accidentally turning donors away? We spend countless hours crafting the perfect appeal, yet many nonprofits are losing significant revenue at the very last hurdle. In this episode of The Nonprofit Boost, host Colleen Carroll sits down with Mark Becker, Founding Partner of Cathexis Partners, to identify the friction points causing donors to bounce.

Mark shares how a clunky donation page or outdated fundraising software doesn't just cost you a single gift—it breaks your matching gift funnel, preventing you from doubling your impact. We explore the shift in donor behavior, the necessity of digital wallets, and how to maintain donor stewardship by cleaning up your data and personalizing your outreach.

Whether you are looking to bring back lapsed donors or optimize for major gifts, this conversation provides a roadmap for leveraging fundraising tools and AI to ensure no dollar is left on the table.

What You Will Learn

1. The Donation Funnel: Why removing friction from your donation page is the first step to securing more matching gifts.

2. Payment Innovation: Why digital wallets, crypto, and DAFs are no longer "nice-to-haves" but essential fundraising tools for conversion.

3. Data Hygiene: How to improve your fundraising intelligence by cleaning up duplicates and gathering accurate employer data.

4. AI & Automation: Practical ways to use AI for dynamic asks and personalized content without "cheating" the creative process.

Notable Quote:

"You cannot get a matching gift from a donation that never happens. Every friction point we remove from the donation experience is a door we open for a corporate match."

Smart Stewardship Integrating Data & Donor Strategy

Monday, January 5, 2026 • Duration 31:26

Notable Quote:

"If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail. This is the biggest pitfall nonprofits take with stewardship—we know what to do, but we don't put the strategic plan in place to engage every donor."
