Customizing Receipts and Thank You Letters

You can create a custom receipt and thank you letter that has your logo and language that is appropriate to your project. However, donor receipts must have “Social Good Fund” named as the nonprofit organization receiving donations in addition to the name of your project.

The most important information to include with a donation receipt letter is:

• The donor’s name.

• The amount of money or a description of the item or items donated.

• A statement indicating whether or not any goods or services were provided in return for the gift; receipts from religious organizations must include a statement indicating that “intangible religious benefits” were provided but they have no monetary value for tax purposes

• A good-faith estimate of the value of goods or services provided; insubstantial values need not be recorded.

"No goods or services were received in exchange for this/these donation(s). Social Good Fund, Inc., is recognized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our tax identification number is 46-1323531."

Please note, if goods or services WERE received, you must list what it was and delete “No goods or services…” from the receipt.

Before you begin to use the receipt template that you’ve customized, please submit a draft to Social Good Fund for review and approval.
