💡 Can I match a donation to a fundraiser or individual in Millie?
We love seeing employees support causes they care about—especially when it’s tied to a personal fundraiser or event 💙
At this time, however, Millie only matches donations directly to the overarching nonprofit organizations, rather than to individual fundraising pages or personal campaigns.
✅ What is supported
If you’ve donated directly to a fundraiser (for example, a friend’s marathon, birthday fundraiser, or peer-to-peer campaign) from outside of the platform, you can still:
- Submit your donation for a match in Millie
- Select the nonprofit organization associated with that fundraiser
- Your company’s match will be sent directly to the nonprofit
⚠️ What to keep in mind
- The match cannot be formally tied to a specific individual fundraiser or campaign page
- This means the nonprofit will receive the matched donation, but it may not automatically be attributed to a specific person or fundraising goal
✏️ Pro tip: Add a note for context
When submitting your match request, you’ll have the option to include a note.
We recommend adding something like:
“This donation was made in support of [Name]’s [event or fundraiser]”
If the nonprofit has claimed their Millie profile, they’ll be able to view donation details (including your note) within their dashboard. From there, they can often use that context to attribute the donation internally based on their own tracking and processes.
🛡️ Why does Millie only support matching to nonprofits?
Millie facilitates donations and matches specifically to verified nonprofit organizations (such as 501(c)(3)s in the U.S.) in order to ensure that:
- Donations are made to organizations that are in good standing and eligible to receive charitable funds
- Proper verification and compliance checks are completed
- Funds can be reliably disbursed through our payment partners
- Donations remain tax-compliant for both employees and companies
Because individual fundraisers and personal campaigns are not verified entities, we’re not able to match directly to them.
