Everything You Need to Know About Sending Tax Receipt Letters
Best practices, IRS rules, sample letters and automation tips.
About the Webinar
For too many professional fundraisers, the joy of a successful year-end giving campaign is quickly dulled when the clock strikes midnight on December 31. Because that’s when our attention turns from accepting gifts to acknowledging them. And, depending on the size of your nonprofit, gathering the basic information you need to send donor tax statement letters may feel like an arduous task.
The Internal Revenue Service requires nonprofits in the United States to send a written acknowledgment to a donor for any contribution of $250 or more.
The letter has certain requirements regarding what language must be included – which leads far too many nonprofits to send dry, boring, legal-sounding letters.
Watch our webinar to learn:
- A primer on the IRS rules regarding the acknowledgment of gifts
- Our best advice on how to write a great tax statement letter
- A sample tax statement letter your donors will love
- How to use automation tools to create and send tax statements
- How to avoid tons of phone calls on January 1 from donors asking for their tax statement letter so they can file their taxes
