FAQ
The following is an example of a written acknowledgment where a charity accepts contributions in the name of one of its activities: "Thank you for your contribution of $250 to (Organization) made in the name of its Kids & Families program. No goods or services were provided in exchange for your donation."
However, no matter the form, every receipt must include six items to meet the standards set forth by the IRS. Name of the Charity and Name of the Donor. Date of the Contribution. Detailed Description of the Property Donated. Amount of the Contribution.
If a donation exceeds $250, the donor must obtain written acknowledgment of the donation before claiming a charitable contribution on their federal income tax return. Plus, a donation receipt is a chance to show donors that your organization is responsible, transparent, and grateful for all support.
California law basically adopts the federal standards for tax deductions on gifts to charity. (See California Revenue and Tax Code § 17201.) One important difference is that California has a 50% limitation on charitable contributions based on federal AGI, as compared to a 60% limit under federal law.
