A lot of people will use the terms “sponsorship” and “donation” interchangeably, but they aren't the same thing. In addition, each offers different benefits to the business or individual making the contribution, so it's important to understand the distinction.
Is a Sponsorship a Donation? While both are important types of support nonprofits can receive, the main difference between sponsorships and donations is that sponsorships typically include the giver receiving something in return.
The goal of fundraising is to generate funds to support the organization's mission or goals. Sponsorship, on the other hand, involves partnering with a company or organization that provides financial support in exchange for exposure or promotional benefits.
Donations directly support the financial needs of an organization—funding essential programs, operational costs, or helping to expand services. A sponsorship, on the other hand, often covers specific expenses related to fundraising activities, such as event costs, promotional materials, or venue fees.
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.
In-kind donation receipt. The donor, not the nonprofit, must determine the monetary value of goods donated. In-kind donation receipts should include the donor's name, the description of the gift, and the date the gift was received.

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.
