Donation matching/top-up by an organization

[Changaco]

Received via email:

With my company, we are looking for a way for the employees to make donations to open source projects that would be increased by the company.

For example, if I give 10€ to framasoft, my company could add 5€.

Interesting.

Thanks for the post. We have seen a platform on which we can round up the monthly pay. I see two options :

• we might use such platforms to fill liberapay's accounts. And so the platform would be a medium between liberapay, the employee, and the company. This depends on liberapay's status. I am not sure : when we fill a liberapay account, is it a gift to this organization ? Or is the gift acted when it's transmitted to the recipient ?
• liberapay could act like such platforms. But I have no idea about what could be implied.

Adding money into Liberapay is like a transfer between two bank accounts that belong to the same person. The actual donations happen over time, every week on Wednesday (what we call "payday").
