Our take
Givematch is a giving platform that harnesses the power of social to enhance the effects of charitable donations. When people donate through the platform, they receive a link to share with friends, family or followers. Then, when two people donate through the link, their original donation is doubled through the company's matching system.
As well as allowing individuals to supercharge their donations, this approach is also appealing to charities and the organizations looking to donate to them. By fundraising on the platform, charities can benefit from the so-called "ripple effect" that encourages word-of-mouth to create a larger pool of donations. Businesses, meanwhile, can heighten the impact of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, as well as track and measure this impact to inform future strategies. So far, Givematch's collaborative ecosystems have raised more than Ā£10 million for UK charities.
With this innovative approach, Givematch stands out from other giving platforms for effectively harnessing the social era towards doing good. It boasts an experienced group of Match Fund and Donor Advised Fund partners, and it will be interesting to watch how the platform and business, striving for growth at present, develop in the future.
