Donation Invoice Template | Receipt

Be sure to include the type of donation, the amount or value, and each party’s contact information. Keep organized records of donations made and received, as these are tax-deductible for donors if your organization qualifies as a charity under IRS regulations.

Donation Receipt – Due to IRS regulations, if an individual would like to have the donation as a tax-deduction they will need to collect a receipt from the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
