Dear , Thank you for your in-kind donation of REQUESTED ITEM which is valued at $_____________. Your in-kind donation motivated and engaged our employees to participate in the WIC Worksite Wellness program. For your records, our tax id number is TAX ID NUMBER.
Craft a concise, direct donation message by clearly stating your cause, the impact of donations, and specific calls-to-action with emotional language. For example: "Your $25 gift provides a week of meals for a family in need. Text FEED to 55555 to More Meals today!"
How should I recognize in-kind donations? Send the donor an acknowledgment that includes your tax ID number, a description of the goods and/or services they donated and the date you received them.
After determining whether an in-kind donation meets the requirements for recognition, follow these steps to properly record and report the contribution: Determine the item's fair market value (FMV). Record the in-kind donation. Provide a written acknowledgment to the item's donor. Report the gift on your Form 990.
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.
Ask for a small donation first, then follow up with a request for more. Either as a second, larger donation or as repeated, recurrent small donations. For larger donations, be prepared to provide publicly to the donor (if they wish it). Be prepared to offer support around the tax benefits of donation (if any).
However, you should be able to provide a bank record (bank statement, credit card statement, canceled check or a payroll deduction record) to claim the tax deduction. Written records, like check registers or personal notations, from the donor aren't enough proof. The records should show the: Organization's name.
In that case, all you need to provide in the donation receipt is the name and EIN of the organization, date of donation, and a description of the donated item. You should also add a note stating that the valuation of the item is the donor's income tax responsibility.
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.
