While it's best practice to always send a donation receipt for every gift your organization receives, there are circumstances where a donation receipt is required by the IRS and must meet IRS guidelines, including: When single donations are greater than $250.
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.
A direct ask is going to be best, but the most effective way for that ask to result in donations/donated items is to have someone who knows the business/owner you're approaching for the donation.

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.
Dear (Donor name): On behalf of (CHARITY) I would like to extend to you a sincere thank you for the (item(s)/package(s)) you donated to our recent (auction name) Online Auction. Your generous contribution will help (describe cause here).
Items donated for the auction, as well as the monetary contributions, should be eligible for deductions under IRS rules. One crucial aspect to consider is the items' fair market value (FMV).
Once the item sells at auction, credit the asset acquisition side of the transaction and debit the donation revenue side to show that the item is no longer in your organization's possession. You should still make sure you have a record of the transactions that took place.
Getting started Craft a compelling message. Include who you are. Be clear about what you're asking for. Link your donation form. Say thank you in advance.
Contact every restaurant, tourist and entertainment venue, all the realtors, and any business that you would normally see advertising on the radio/newsprint for a donation. Tell then what you'd like (admission tickets, gift cards, baskets) and that you will have someone pick it up from them.
