Frequently asked questions

What should a donation receipt include?

A donation receipt should show your organisation’s name and registration number, the donor’s name, the amount or a description of an in-kind gift, the date received and a statement that it is a donation receipt.

Do donors need receipts for tax?

In many countries donors can claim tax relief on gifts to registered charities and need a receipt as evidence. Rules vary, so include your registration details and any wording your jurisdiction requires.

Can I receipt in-kind (non-cash) donations?

Yes — describe the donated item instead of an amount. Many jurisdictions ask the donor, not the charity, to value the item.

Can churches and small NGOs use this?

Yes. invoice44 is free with no signup and works offline, which suits churches, community groups and small NGOs issuing receipts on the spot.
