22. Tips for Matching Grant Success
Clearly communicate to donors that they must look for the x2
money icon to ensure their donation is being matched.
Ask board members or others to put up a matching gift as their way
of contributing – and then ask them to promote to their
friends/colleagues
If you have multiple matching opportunities, keep an eye on them.
You will want to close a page once the match has been met so that
donors only contribute to current matching opportunities
Consider sending out 3 update emails staggered throughout Give
to the Max Day – providing an update on your progress and
encouraging donors to give throughout the day
Use the match to create a sense of urgency/excitement as part of
your social media outreach
Offline donations can be added under the “Donations” tab, but
don’t count towards the Give to the Max Day leaderboard
22
23. Customizing a Thank You Message
23
Thank You Video
Videos pop up immediately after a donor makes a
donation.
Thank you message
Add a few lines of text to make the thank you email
more personal.
Consider adding special thank you messages for Give
to the Max Day
26. Creating a Project Page
If you are an admin, your fundraising page will be created as a project.
27. Organization Page vs. Project Page
Organization Page
Simple. Avoid confusion
for donors by having just
one page on which they
could donate to your
organization.
No set goal or fundraising
progress ‘thermometer’
on page or in search
results
Project Page
Tell an additional story
with
text, photos, videos, and
suggested donation levels
Set a specific dollar goal
and display ‘thermometer’
May create clutter or
donor confusion
Great for highlighting
different fundraising
objectives (i.e. backpacks
vs. senior services)

31. What happens when
a donor makes a donation?
• The organization’s administrator immediately receives an
email notification which includes the donation amount and
the donor’s contact information (if it is not an anonymous
gift).
• The donor immediately receives an email from
Razoo/GiveMN which is their IRS receipt . While the email
thanks the donor, it is a thank you from Razoo/GiveMN,
not from the organization. We strongly encourage the
organization to follow up with a thank you note shortly
thereafter.
• Donations are paid out the 10th of each month for the prior
month’s donations.
