Peer matching empowers your people to create a giving opportunity and add a match, join a matching pool with their coworkers or donate to receive a match! It's a simple way for everyone to get involved and make an impact, and they'll love the feeling they get from connecting and taking action as a team.
Permissions
Anyone with permission to create a giving opportunity can create a peer match, provided peer matching is enabled for your program. If only admins can create giving opportunities in your program, only they can create a peer match, but once they create the original giving opportunity with a peer match, anyone can add to the peer match pool. If everyone can create a giving opportunity, everyone can create a peer match.
Creating a peer match opportunity
- Go to Make a Donation > Create a Giving Opportunity and fill in the details of your giving opportunity.
- Under the Peer Matching section, select Turn on Peer Matching for this Giving Opportunity.
- Enter the maximum donation amount that you would like to match. This amount will display in the Peer Match pool on the giving opportunity.
- Select Submit.
Now, when people open the giving opportunity, they'll see that a peer match pool has been created, and that they can add a match of their own to the pool.
Note: If the giving opportunity has a donation goal, it isn’t possible to also add a peer match, so if the peer match section doesn't appear when creating your giving opportunity, make sure you haven't set a donation goal.
