Double your Donation and impact

Our matching-gift search is powered by Double-the-Donation, a service that primarily works with U.S.-based employers. Because of this, the database currently lists mostly U.S.-registered companies, where corporate matching programs are especially common. The database is one of the largest and most accurate, empowering your organization to quickly identify match-eligible donors to double their donations.

However, some non-U.S. companies also offer their own donation-matching programs or partner with platforms such as Benevity, YourCause, or similar services. If you’re based outside the U.S., it’s still worthwhile to check with your employer — typically through your HR or CSR department — to see whether they offer matched giving or other ways to support the causes their employees care about.

To double your donation, your company will likely need you to provide them with a donation receipt.

You will receive a donation receipt automatically after donating, and we also email you a summary of all your donations of this year in the month of December, to make sure you can fill out a matched request before the end of the year.

If you have lost your receipt or would like the summary of multiple donations sooner than December, you can always reach out to us through our contact form.

There are several meaningful ways you and your employer can support cleaner oceans beyond matching gifts.

Many companies choose to donate to The Ocean Cleanup on behalf of their employees during Giving Season. You can suggest this to your employer as an alternative that creates a real environmental impact.

Your company or team can also start a fundraiser to support our mission. It’s an engaging way to rally colleagues around a shared purpose. You can set it up on our fundraising platform and involve your workplace in helping remove plastic from oceans and rivers.

Finally, your company can become a partner of The Ocean Cleanup. We seek long-term and sustainable partnerships for the ambitious and long-term global mission for ocean plastic removal. Contact us to learn more.

Whether it’s a matched donation, a holiday contribution, or a team fundraiser, partnering with your employer can significantly amplify your impact.

Yes, as long as your donation was issued in the same calendar year, you can request your employer to match it through the search and apply function above.

Make sure you have the donation receipt email that was sent after your donation, if necessary for the application process.
