Frequently asked questions

What must a donation receipt include?

The organization's name and EIN, donor name, date, amount of cash or a description of non-cash items, and a statement of whether any goods or services were given in return (and their estimated value).

When is a written donation receipt required?

In the U.S., donors need a written acknowledgment for any single contribution of $250 or more to claim a deduction. It's good practice to send one for every gift.

Should a nonprofit value non-cash donations?

Usually the organization describes the items, and the donor determines the value. This template labels non-cash values as donor-estimated.

Is this donation receipt template free?

Yes. Edit online and download a PDF or Excel file with no sign-up.
