However, you should be able to provide a bank record (bank statement, credit card statement, canceled check or a payroll deduction record) to claim the tax deduction. Written records, like check registers or personal notations, from the donor aren't enough proof. The records should show the: Organization's name.
Advocates of donor privacy believe the question was settled in 2021 with the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in the case of Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. California Attorney General Rob Bonta. That ruling determined that California could not force nonprofits to submit lists of their major donors to the state.
All nonprofits with gross receipts above $50,000 are required to file an IRS Form 990 (or 990-EZ). The Form 990 is publicly available and may be found on the organization's page or on nonprofit databases such as GuideStar. (Note that the database may not be comprehensive.)
The Nonprofit Data Search allows you to sift through Form 990 filing data for tens of thousands of nonprofit records to find and download details about their grant recipients, board members, vendors and other detailed financial information.
Private foundations, including private corporate foundations, must publicly disclose all of their grants in their annual tax filings. You can use Foundation Directory to research foundations and see which nonprofits they give grants to.
You can qualify for taking the charitable donation deduction without a receipt; however, you should provide a bank record (like a bank statement, credit card statement, or canceled check) or a payroll deduction record to claim the tax deduction.
Can I get a list of donors to an organization? The list of donors filed with Form 990 is specifically excluded from the information available for public inspection, except for donors to private foundations and political organizations.
Ing to the IRS, any kind of donation above $250 should require a donation receipt. The same applies to stock gifts/donations.
In order to remain a public charity (and not a private foundation), a 501(c)(3) must obtain at least 1/3 of its donated revenue from a fairly broad base of public support. Public support can be from individuals, companies, and/or other public charities.
Donate to a qualifying organization Your charitable giving will qualify for a tax deduction only if it goes to a tax-exempt organization, as defined by section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Before you donate, ask the charity how much of your contribution will be tax-deductible.
