In general, donation receipts should be issued by the organization that received the donation, and they must include specific information such as the date and amount of the donation, the name and contact information of the organization, and the name and address of the donor.
The same applies to stock gifts/donations. In this case, you should send a donation receipt comprising details such as the ticker symbol, the number of shares, and the donation date. Mentioning the value of the stock is not necessary since a nonprofit is not supposed to be assigning value to stocks or gifts.
Paper tax receipts need to be signed by the employee that accepted the donation.
Ing to the IRS, any kind of donation above $250 should require a donation receipt. The same applies to stock gifts/donations.
The name of the nonprofit or charity (plus the gift officer's name and title, if applicable) The date that the donation was made. The donation amount. A signature from the nonprofit or charity that verifies the invoice.
