Set up the Amply integration
Amply is a third party platform that facilitates employer donation matching. With GoFundMe Pro's Amply integration, you can drive employer match requests and automate the paperwork required to receive a matched gift.
Set up Amply
- In GoFundMe Pro, go to Apps & Integrations > Explore
- Select Amply
- Mark the Terms & Conditions checkbox
- Select Enable Amply
Once you turn on the integration, Amply will send you a welcome email to the address that was used to set up your GoFundMe Pro account. In the email, you'll have a link to register with Amply. After the registration is complete, a section will appear on your donation pages/checkout forms where supporters can add their employer information for donation matching.
Note: Donation matching is not available for ticket or registration purchases.
Frequently asked questions
What is the employee email field and what should a supporter put there?
The supporter should enter their company email address (For example, john@gofundme.com). This helps Amply verify the supporter's employment.
Is it possible to turn on employee matching for specific campaigns?
No, employee matching through Amply is only available at the account level.
How are donations matched?
When someone selects the box for employer matching on your donation page, they can select their employer name from a drop-down menu. The employer information gets sent to Amply when checkout is completed.
The supporter will get an email with a copy of the employer matching form which requires an e-signature. Once they provide the e-signature and the match is processed, the supporter's employer will mail a check to your organization.
Does Amply have a reporting feature so I can see what has been matched?
Yes, when you log in to Amply you’ll be able to view and download Excel reports. The reports include name, email address, donation amount, and match status.
Is there a notification system that alerts supporters when a donation is matched?
There is an option to enable this within Amply. From your Amply account, you can mark "check received" to send a thank you email to supporters.
If a supporter selects "not in list" from the drop-down and types in their employer, how is the employer verified?
Amply reaches out to the employer to see if there is a matching policy in place.
