A: No, there are no extra API access fees or per-transaction surcharges to integrate Double the Donation with Blackbaud, provided your organization maintains active subscriptions with both platforms.

Because Double the Donation is an official Blackbaud Premier Partner, the integration includes no additional setup cost. Once connected, onboarding support varies by plan level:

• Standard & Enterprise Plans: Work directly with a dedicated Implementation Specialist to add users, integrate multiple fundraising tools, and configure advanced settings.

• Essentials Plan: Receive guided email instructions (and a potential onboarding call) to work with a specialist on adding two users, integrating one fundraising tool, and answering configuration questions.

A: Enabling the Double the Donation and Blackbaud integration typically involves four quick steps, with the exact method depending on your specific Blackbaud product:

1. Connect the Integration: For cloud-based CRMs (e.g., Raiser's Edge NXT), you will activate the connection via the Blackbaud Marketplace. For donation forms (e.g., Luminate Online), you will generate a unique HTML embed code directly from your API settings.
2. Configure Data Mapping and Exclusion Rules: You will define your synchronization rules and apply custom filters to exclude specific records, such as filtering by Fund ID, Constituent Code, or historical gift dates.
3. Embed The Matching Plugin: You will add the search tool to your Blackbaud donation forms and confirmation screens so donors can immediately check their corporate match eligibility.
4. Enable Automated Data Syncing: For CRM integrations, you will activate two-way syncing. This allows the system to continuously scan incoming gifts, trigger automated emails, and write match statuses directly back to the Constituent Record in Blackbaud.

To ensure a seamless deployment, your organization won't have to navigate this alone. You will be paired with a dedicated Implementation Specialist who will guide your team through the end-to-end setup, test your data flows, and verify that all connected systems are operating seamlessly.
