FAQ
Nonprofit or charitable organizations typically create donation invoices after they've processed incoming donations. These organizations then send the donation invoices back to their donors.
The accepted way to record in-kind donations is to set up a separate revenue account but the expense side of the transaction should be recorded in its functional expense account. For example, revenue would be recorded as Gifts In-Kind – Services, and the expense would be recorded as Professional Services.
The revenue should be reported in the period in which the donation is made and the expense when the donation is used. In the case of a capitalizable item, such as a building or construction equipment, the donation would be recorded as revenue and as an asset on the balance sheet, rather than under expenses.
Non-profit invoicing not only manages transactions but also symbolizes the organization's transparency and ethical stewardship. It's about showing how funds are used in pursuit of your social mission, not just about documenting sales.
Anyone can receive a donation invoice for a donation that has occurred in any capacity. However, a 501c3 donation receipt is given when a donation is granted to an officially titled 501c3 organization.
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.
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.
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.
It's required that nonprofits report in-kind donations separately within their financial statements. This means you should record in-kind donations in a separate revenue account within your chart of accounts.
