FAQ
Write in the total fair market value of your donation. This value is determined by you, the donor. Goodwill provides a donation value guide to help determine fair market value. Please note: Goodwill employees cannot help determine fair market value.
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.
Ing to the IRS, any kind of donation above $250 should require a donation receipt. The same applies to stock gifts/donations.
Example 2: Individual Acknowledgment Letter Hi donor name, We're super grateful for your contribution of $250 to nonprofit's name on date received. As a thank you, we sent you a T-shirt with an estimated fair market value of $25 in exchange for your contribution.
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
