Donation Receipt Template

You will want to send a donation receipt at the end of the year to remind your donors of the contributions they made throughout the year. You can print and sign the donation receipt or send it through email, depending on your preferences.

If you run a business with lots of transactions, you understand that record keeping can be a major headache. That’s why it’s important to make sure you’re specific about what the receipt was for and when the transaction occurred. You’ll also want to make sure you specify any taxes paid and amounts owed for your accounting record.

Your receipt may be used by your donor to show they made charitable donations throughout the year. You’ll want to make sure you include everything necessary for their taxes. To do this, make sure you include your charity’s information, the donor’s name, a summary of their contributions, the total for their contributions, and your signature.

You will want to list the cash amounts donated and the type of products or services donated to your charity. You can create a general list of their contributions. This gives them an idea of how many times they donated and what they donated. A total at the end of the detailed list makes it easy for them to see exactly how much they donated to your charity throughout the year.

Make sure you pay careful attention to the layout of your receipt. You may want to add a logo, if applicable, so it’s easy for the donor to see who sent the receipt to them. If you plan on printing the receipt, make sure it’s print-friendly. We’ve got a whole collection of free and print-friendly receipt templates for everything from cash receipts to rent receipts.

Consider making the receipt look more like a letter, so it’s more personal than a typical receipt (use our receipt maker to do this easily). Consider which way you’ll want to create the receipt based on your charity type and what your donors might prefer.
