Hi All,
I'm the founder of DonationMatch and hope that you're all getting great value from this board. I as an auction chair certainly am glad it exists.

I refrained from replying earlier but thought I should clarify that DonationMatch is FREE to event leaders. We offer extra upgrades for a fee, but they are not required. We also do not "hold back" donations for only paid members; what you see and receive is what companies want you to. The platform simply makes it easier to connect. I created it to stop auction committees from having to fill out hundreds of forms each year, and it's been a slow but steadily growing labor of love.

I hope this helps!

I tried Donation Match last year, and wasn't impressed. In my humble opinion, I would take the $50 and apply it to postage and printing. I think your dollars will go much further that way.

I applied last night and already got a response from them that they are reviewing it... did you fill out the form from the contact us link?

I used donation match last year and most of the donations were e-mailed or downloaded certificates that you just print.

This year I have used some of the external links they have at the bottom of the page but I noticed that a lot of the items are only available for pick up only.

I am wondering though if you pay the $50 for upgrading if there are more donation choices.

Has anyone recently used Donation Match? How easy is it to use at the free rate or is it worth getting the $50 upgrade.?
How do you receive the donations?

I sent a request in the summer and got a "no" in early fall.
