Quid pro quo contributions A charitable organization must provide a written disclosure statement to any donor of a quid pro quo contribution over $75.
How to Write a Gift Acknowledgment Letter State the purpose of your letter. Start your gift acknowledgment letter with a confirmation of the donation. Make your letter visually engaging. Personalize your note. Explain the impact of the gift. Express heartfelt gratitude. Invite supporters to stay involved.
While we recommend sending donation acknowledgment letters to all of your donors, you are legally obligated to send documentation to donors who have given a gift of $250 or more.
Thank-you letters should always be written in a personal, down-to-earth voice. You want to show your appreciation for the effort your donor has made and show how far their donation has gone. You should always address the donor by name, and focus on how they've helped your organization.
Once a donation of stock has been received, a thank you letter should be sent to the donor. This letter should acknowledge the gift of stock, such as the name and number of shares. It should not list the value of the stock received since the organization is not in the business of valuing stock.
While we recommend sending donation acknowledgment letters to all of your donors, you are legally obligated to send documentation to donors who have given a gift of $250 or more. The IRS requires nonprofit organizations to provide a formal acknowledgment letter to these donors for tax purposes.
Acknowledgement letters should be mailed no later than one week (5-7 business days) from the date of the gift. You should thank every donor, for every gift, regardless of gift amount. Gift amounts should NOT be included in your thank you letter (that's what the tax receipt is for)
Technically, donors don't need the substantiation until sometime before they file their personal tax returns for the year the gift was made. There are other ways to acknowledge a gift in addition to a written gift acknowledgment that is sent to the donor, whether via email or regular mail.
