What is match funding?
Match funding is the ability to secure additional donations from a fundraiser’s workplace, grant maker or philanthropist. Fundraisers can double the amount they raise from their own fundraising efforts when using this capability, which will display the availability of match funding to donors via the fundraising page.
Match funding can currently be set up by Enthuse on behalf of an individual charity.

Match Funding FAQs
Is match funding available on all event types?
Yes, match funding is available on all appeals / events.
How will match funds be paid out?
It is up to the charity / corporate to manage how the match funding will be paid out. Enthuse will provide the accurate reporting that can be taken to the match funding partner.
Can an individual fundraising page be match funded?
Individual fundraising pages (e.g. set up through the profile page) cannot be match-funded. The charity can always set up the match-funding campaign on the individual's behalf e.g. as a personal challenge event.
Will we show match funding on the charity profile page?
No, for now charities will only be able to apply match funding on individual appeals / events.
How does match funding work with recurring donations?
Match funding will continue to be applied to the recurring donation as long as there are match funds available and the match funding campaign is still live. After that point the recurring donation will continue but the match funding will no longer be applied. This will be reflected in a donors receipt emails.
