The Double the Donation Story
It’s our goal to help organizations generate the funding that’s necessary to focus on their core missions of education, community enrichment, scientific research, or charitable giving.
The Beginning of Our Journey in 2011
Double the Donation was founded when Adam, Double the Donation’s President, was working at a major bank and made donations to his university, the local Big Brothers Big Sisters organization, and LLS.
By the time he realized his company had a matching gift program, it was too late to get many of those donations matched.
Discussions with multiple nonprofits revealed they all viewed matching gifts as bonus money. Double the Donation was started to help organizations proactively grow their matching gift revenue and focus more of their resources on their core mission.
Kanwei has been programming since he was 4, starting with creating text adventure games on his father’s office computer. He now holds a master’s degree in Computer Science from Emory University, and resides in Atlanta.
He joined Double the Donation in 2013. While he loves developing software to solve problems in the nonprofit space, he’s always eager to jump on calls with our largest nonprofit clients to help understand what our tech team can do to continue assisting them and thousands of other nonprofits in achieving their matching gift goals.

25 Paid Vacation and Sick Days Annually
Where are you going this year?
Everyone has 25 paid vacation & sick days!
So start planning your next trip with friends or family.
10 Days of Additional Life Leave Annually
Life Leave allows team members to use their holidays as it’s meant to be – a break – whilst knowing you’ve got the breathing space to tap into extra leave for the planned and unplanned life moments.
Accrue two weeks of paid leave annually for situations, such as settling in a new pet, moving, having a child, adoption, or final wedding preparations.
Save these up across multiple years or cash them out each year.
7 Additional Paid Holidays
You’ll have all the standard holidays off.
But most of our team takes extended holidays as not only do you have your 7 paid holidays, but you also accrue 35 additional paid days off (Vacation/Sick/Life Leave) each year for a total of 42 paid days off.
Matching Gift Program
Make your donation go twice as far. We offer an employee matching gift program where we match donations made by employees to nearly any nonprofit or educational institution.
Volunteer Grant Program
Volunteer regularly? At the end of each year we provide grants to nonprofits that employees volunteer at regularly.
Fundraising Sponsorship
Fundraising for a nonprofit through a Run/Walk/Ride type of event?
We provide a grant to kick-start your fundraising.
Team Volunteer Grants
We want to support volunteer outings where groups of employees volunteer together.
Gather up five colleagues for a volunteer outing and we’ll either make a donation to that nonprofit or pay for supplies or equipment for the volunteer outing.
Board Service Grants
We want to support organizations where our employees serve on the nonprofit’s board.
Each year Double the Donation will make a donation directly to any nonprofit where an employee serves as a board member.
