51 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

With only 1,000 active installs, adoption is modest, though not negligible for a niche, service-tied plugin.

Update Freshness

19/25

Updated on 2025-11-10 and tested against WordPress 6.8.5, which signals active maintenance despite the small install base.

User Rating

0/15

Zero ratings and a 0/100 score mean there is no community feedback to gauge real-world satisfaction or problems.

Support Health

8/15

One support thread with a 0% resolution rate is a weak sample, but it does suggest slow or absent developer response.

WP Compatibility

11/15

Compatible with WordPress 3.0 and PHP 5.6.20, and tested on 6.8.5, so it should work on virtually any modern WordPress install.

What It Does

The Double the Donation plugin connects a WordPress site to the Double the Donation matching gift database, allowing donors to look up whether their employer will match their contribution. It inserts a search field, typically on donation pages, and routes visitors to the Double the Donation portal to identify employer gift-matching programs. It also exposes a shortcode for embedding the lookup tool anywhere on a site.

Who It's For

This plugin is best suited for nonprofits, universities, hospitals, and community foundations that already use or plan to use Double the Donation's commercial matching-gift service. Site administrators who want a low-friction way to surface a corporate matching-gift lookup on their donation pages will get the most value. It fits organizations that need a simple connector and are comfortable relying on an external SaaS for the actual matching-gift data.

Who Should Skip It

If you do not have an active Double the Donation subscription, the plugin has little to offer, since the matching-gift data lives on their servers. Small charities without significant corporate donor traffic, or sites needing a fully self-hosted matching-gift solution, should look elsewhere.

The Bottom Line

Double the Donation is a competent but narrowly useful connector that only delivers value if you are paying for the Double the Donation service, and the lack of ratings or resolved support threads makes it a slightly cautious choice. The 54.18/100 quality score reflects strong maintenance offset by zero community validation. Treat it as a utility for an existing Double the Donation subscription, not a standalone fundraising solution.
