What matching gift challenges has 360MatchPro solved for you?
Lauren Mason: Before using 360MatchPro, we did not have a way to capture and process matching gifts for donors. Now, we are able to create a seamless experience for our users where they can type in their company and easily find out if they match, which is much increasing the number of donors who choose to get their gift matched, which gives us twice the amount of funding.
What is your favorite feature or aspect of 360MatchPro?
Lauren Mason: My favorite feature of 360MatchPro is that it embeds directly into our website so we can set it and forget it. website so we can set it and forget it. We don't have to think about it and it's always there and available for our donors to come, and type in and, easily process. All the information is already set up, so there's very little we have to do once it's implemented, and it is a fantastic resource for us and increasing the amount of funding we're able to use in the community.
What will your organization be able to do with increased matching gifts?
Lauren Mason: With the increase of matching donations that we're able to get from 360MatchPro, we are able to increase our capacity to reach more neighbors in need with healthy, nutritious, and affordable groceries in our communities and overall impact the health of our entire community, which is now a long term goal. That creates healthy environments for folks to access all of the food and nutritious needs that they have in their community in a welcoming and dignified shopping experience.
