The Technology Behind HEP GiftPlus Online

All of the companies in our Canadian and US databases are surveyed annually for updates to their data. Those that do not respond to mail and email surveys are phoned directly.

Each company knows they are in the database. In fact, each parent matching gift company has its own unique user name and password with which they can access a "back door" to the databases and view their data in "read only" format. They may submit changes which HEP validates in a return call before making effective in the database.

Search Methods

There are many ways to obtain information on the database:

Search by name of company.
You do not need to put in the entire name. By only putting in the main name, (such as Abbott or Boeing), you will produce results. There may be one, several or sometimes many results. Pick the one that applies to what you are looking for.
Search by town/city and state.
to see what matching gift companies are in your area. Please note that there may be a company in your area but you will find that the program may be run somewhere else. The matching gift profile will show the administrator.
Search by zip code.
for the most refined geographical search.
Search by 1 to 3 eligibilities (nonprofits).
to see what companies match will match. (i.e. To find organizations in your areas that have employee matching gift programs, use the state/province criteria. You could also add the eligibility criteria to target organizations relevant to your cause.)
You can also search for distribution schedules.
how often companies match so that you can budget or anticipate for receipt of the match.
Online forms.
this search will produce live links to forms but also will indicate if the company has an online intranet form.
Ratios.
Although most matches are dollar for dollar (1:1), there are some companies that match 2:1 and above.
Previous cycle matching.
This is for people that may have sent in their matching gift request late. Some companies will not accept late forms, but we find that most do but the matching gift may go into the next distribution cycle.
Volunteering.
Employee volunteering in exchange for a matching grant by the company. This is a growing segment of the matching gift business.
Custom Printing.
Look up the company your donor is employed for and use the "custom print" function to print instructions for the employee on how to get their donation matched to your organization.

Once you are into a profile for a company, note that you will see as much information as we have been able to obtain at the time that you view the profile. However, this information is updated daily depending on information we have recently received or researched. Please feel free to contact us at anytime with questions about the data or new companies that we need to add to the database.
