Getting a receipt every time you donate strengthens your tax records if you are audited. If you make a large donation and don't have (or can't find) the receipt, the donation will almost certainly be disallowed on audit. For this reason, it's best to set up a record-keeping system at the start of each year.
Start with a clear statement of purpose. Share personal stories or anecdotes that illustrate the impact the donations will have. Quantify the need and how the donations will be used. Convey gratitude and appreciation for any amount the reader is able to contribute.
A donation acknowledgment letter is a type of donor letter that you send to donors to document their charitable gifts and donations. Sometimes your donation receipt functions as a donor acknowledgement. However, that's not always the case. All donors deserve to be thanked, no matter the size of their gift.
Include a statement that no goods or services were provided by the organization in exchange for the contribution, if that was the case. If any goods or services were provided by the organization in exchange for the contribution, include a description and good faith estimate of the value of those goods or services.
Employees make regular donations to charity. Charities appealed for donations of food and clothing for victims of the hurricane.
Proof can be provided in the form of an official receipt or invoice from the receiving qualified charitable organization, but it can also be provided via credit card statements or other financial records detailing the donation.

Your organization's employer identification number. The date the gift was received. A description of the gift and the amount received.
