About this template

A receipt is paperwork a donor keeps for years. This form generates one per gift with the details that matter — amount, gift reference, date, what it supported — and lets the donor confirm the record is right with a tick, a typed signature name and a date, so your files and theirs agree before tax season arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why send a receipt confirmation instead of just a thank-you note?
Thank-you notes are goodwill; the receipt is the record a donor keeps for years. Pairing them means the donor and your files agree on what the gift was.
Does this replace official tax documentation?
No. It confirms receipt details and stores the donor's dated acknowledgment; whether a gift is deductible is a question for the donor's own tax adviser and local rules.
How is this different from the donor record form?
The donor record builds the archive of who gives; this form closes out one specific gift with a confirmed receipt.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace and match wording choices to your voice.
Can donors correct a detail?
They flag it on the same entry, addressed to the named contact — corrections land in your queue, not your inbox.
Do we store it or do they?
Both: the donor confirms, and the paired entry stays in your workspace for reconciliation.
