Companies that match employee donations - build relationships with companies, save paperwork, increase turnover

I'm sure you're aware that many companies in the financial sector (and other sectors, I guess) offer to match charitable donations for employees.
My company does this. If I give £100 to charity I can fill in a form, give it to the charity and the charity can use it to claim an additional £100 from my company. This has to be done, really. I can't overlook doubling the money. But it's a pain filling in a form and I'd imagine that it's a pain for the administrators at my company to process the forms too.
So, I know you guys are busy building your business in other ways, but I'm sure you can see the potential for JustGiving creating a corporate sponsorship section.
As a JustGiving member, I could specify that I belong to a company and, once the company representative has signed into the site and agreed this, I can automatically get my donations doubled. With this feature, it would be a complete no-brainer to use JustGiving for any charity donation whatsoever.
Implementing a high quality interface and Application Programmer Interface (API) would make it attractive to companies, because the company has the opportunity to reduce paperwork.
Just an idea. Anyway, keep up the good work.

My company participates in Matched Giving, and I thought I wouldn't be able to get the donations matched if I set up a JustGiving website. However, a work colleague assures me that if a JustGiving website is set up, you can then send the company Matched Giving form to your charity, and after they fill in their portion of the form, they send it to the Charity Aid Foundation as normal.
The Charity Aid Foundation then simply checks the total on the JustGiving website, ( provided you tell them about it ! ) and the money gets doubled.
Not quite the answer to your question, and I have yet to contact CAF to confirm this, but my colleague says he has used this method and it works.
