·      Click the Double your donation's impact button in the body of the email.

·      Use the Organization Information, Address, and Tax ID on the right side of the page to complete your company's gift matching paperwork.

·      Click the View Receipt button at the bottom of the page for a printable receipt referencing your donation.
