Frequently Asked Questions
What must a 501(c)(3) donation receipt include?
The IRS requires: organization name and EIN, donor name, donation amount, date, a statement of whether goods or services were exchanged, and a good-faith estimate of any goods/services value if applicable.
Do I need to send receipts for every donation?
The IRS requires written acknowledgment for any single donation of $250 or more. Best practice is to send receipts for all donations — donors expect them and it builds trust.
Can churches use this tool?
Yes. Churches are automatically 501(c)(3) organizations and should provide donation receipts to tithe and offering contributors, especially for tax-deductible gifts.
When should I send year-end receipts?
Year-end donation summaries should be sent by January 31 so donors can use them for tax filing. Many organizations send them in early-to-mid January.
