# Donations & Matching - Off Platform

If you make a donation outside our platform and request it to be matched ([off-platform donation](https://goodstackgiving.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/26796345363345)), we review the details of your donation, the receipt, and the organization you donated to before approving the match request.

On approval, the matched donation is created automatically, and we then request payment from your employer. Once received, we will schedule the payment for our next monthly payout batch.
