FAQ

Good Questions, Short Answers

The fine print, minus the fine print

At what amount does the IRS require a donation receipt?

A written acknowledgment is mandatory for any single gift of $250 or more. Most nonprofits issue one for every donation regardless of size — it costs nothing and keeps donor records clean.

What makes a donation receipt IRS-compliant?

Four things: the organization's name and EIN, the donor's name, the date and amount of the gift, and an explicit statement on whether the donor received goods or services in return.

How do I document non-cash donations?

List and describe the donated items, but leave the valuation off. Federal rules put fair market value on the donor, not the charity.

What is a donation receipt?

A donation receipt is the written acknowledgment a nonprofit gives a donor to confirm a charitable contribution. The IRS requires one for any single gift of $250 or more; careful organizations issue them for every gift. The details must be right: the organization's legal name and EIN (Employer Identification Number), the donor's name, the date and amount, a statement on whether goods or services were exchanged, and a description of any non-cash items.

When would you need a donation receipt?

A donor's charitable deduction rests on this document — without a compliant receipt, the IRS can throw the deduction out in an audit. Nonprofits issue them to stay within IRS rules, keep donor trust, and feed clean numbers into year-end summaries, grant reports, and fundraising records.

Which fields matter most on a donation receipt?

Legal name and address of the nonprofit • EIN (Employer Identification Number) • Donor's name and address • Contribution date and amount • Whether goods or services were provided in exchange • Description of any non-cash gifts • Tax-deductibility language

How to make your donation receipt look right

Print the EIN on every receipt -- donors can't file the deduction without it • Use the exact IRS wording: "No goods or services were provided in exchange for this contribution" • Remind donors to keep the receipt with their tax records • Describe non-cash gifts without pricing them -- assigning fair market value is the donor's job, not the charity's
