Keep the donation date distinct from the issue date
This donation receipt template for Canada includes the date a gift was received and the date a receipt was issued. They can differ. The layout also records the donor, charity registration reference, place issued and receipt serial number, so the summary can be matched to the charity’s original record.
Copy the details from the charity record
| Section | Details |
|---|---|
| Charity | Enter the organization name and registration reference. |
| Donor | Copy the donor name and address accurately. |
| Dates | Record Date Donation Received and Date Receipt Issued separately. |
| Gift amounts | Enter the donation, eligible amount and any advantage value as recorded. |
| Receipt references | Check the serial number, place issued and authorized-signature entry. |
Request the official receipt from the charity
- CRA publishes different receipt examples for cash and non-cash gifts, with or without an advantage. Use the record issued for your gift rather than assuming that every donation has the same eligible amount.
- ReceiptEdit does not verify charity registration or issue official donation receipts on a charity’s behalf. Keep this summary with the original donation evidence.
