A matching gift is a gift given out of obligation which matches another gift (or volunteer hours, etc.). This match is not always a 1:1 ratio. The gift that triggers the matching gift is called the matched gift.
Standard
An individual makes a gift and that individual works for a company with a matching gift agreement. A matching gift claim is automatically generated. When the company sends in the payment for the matching gift, the claim is paid off (like a pledge).

Third-Party (Benevity, YourCause)
An individual makes a gift and that individual works for a company with a matching gift agreement. A matching gift claim is automatically generated. When the third-party matching gift organization sends in the payment for the matching gift, it is recorded as a gift payment instead of a matching gift payment against the claim.

Querying Matching Gifts in Business Objects
Capturing third-party gifts in Business Objects must be done with a subquery, as shown in Figure 1. Any query criteria to capture the base population should be repeated in the subquery.
