Missed Matching Gift Revenue Due to Verification Delays

$10,000-$100,000+ per planned gift (high value but infrequent; delays in match processing can defer revenue recognition by 1-3 months, creating cash flow impact) • $10,000–$100,000 per year in forfeited or severely delayed matches tied to a relatively small pool of major donors, plus lost leverage in stewardship conversations because the organization cannot reliably demonstrate full matched impact. • $10,000–$100,000 per year in lost or foregone institutional funding leverage because the organization cannot credibly surface the full, matched value of event giving tied to grants or challenge commitments.

Collecting employer information on paper pledge forms or basic online registration fields, then exporting attendee lists into spreadsheets and manually emailing generic reminders and instructions about corporate matching after the event. • Coordinating via long email threads and shared spreadsheets with the corporate partner’s CSR or HR team to reconcile employee donation lists, manually matching donor records across systems, and sending ad hoc documentation or customized reports when the company flags discrepancies. • Estimating potential matching gift totals for grant reports using rough percentages or past experience instead of actual verified data, built from event spreadsheets and incomplete CRM records.
