Frequently asked questions
Is this donation receipt template free?
Yes — create and download donation receipts for free, with no signup and no watermark.
What should a nonprofit donation receipt include?
Your organization’s name, the donor’s name, the date and amount of the gift, and a statement of whether any goods or services were provided in exchange. The IRS has specific requirements for tax-deductible contributions.
Are donation receipts required for tax deductions?
For donations of $250 or more, the IRS generally requires a written acknowledgment from the charity for the donor to claim a deduction. Review the IRS charitable contribution rules and consult a tax professional.
Can I use it for in-kind (non-cash) donations?
Yes. Describe the donated goods in place of an amount. Generally the donor — not the charity — is responsible for valuing in-kind gifts.
