FAQ
How do you acknowledge a donation? The primary ways to acknowledge your donations are with an email or letter. There are several details that the IRS requires you to include: The name of your donor.
The receipt can take a variety of written forms – letters, formal receipts, postcards, computer-generated forms, etc. It's important to remember that without a written acknowledgment, the donor cannot claim the tax deduction.
While we recommend sending donation acknowledgment letters to all of your donors, you are legally obligated to send documentation to donors who have given a gift of $250 or more.
Technically, donors don't need the substantiation until sometime before they file their personal tax returns for the year the gift was made. There are other ways to acknowledge a gift in addition to a written gift acknowledgment that is sent to the donor, whether via email or regular mail.
Each letter should include the following information: The donor's name. The full legal name of your organization. A declaration of your organization's tax-exempt status. Your organization's employer identification number. The date the gift was received. A description of the gift and the amount received.
Acknowledgement letters should be mailed no later than one week (5-7 business days) from the date of the gift. You should thank every donor, for every gift, regardless of gift amount. Gift amounts should NOT be included in your thank you letter (that's what the tax receipt is for)
What To Include in Donor Acknowledgement Letters Donor's name. Address the donor by name. Organization's name. Clearly state your nonprofit's name to make the letter official and avoid confusion. Donation amount and date. Be specific about the gift. Type of donation. Tax information. Mission impact. Closing with gratitude.
How do you fill out an acknowledgment letter? Date of receipt: State when the document or goods were received. Description: Provide a concise description of the received document or goods. Confirmation statement: Include a statement confirming the safe receipt of the document or goods.
