Key facts

- GreenLawyer review
- How AI is used
- Produce a receipt template whose blanks are only the organisation's name, the amount of cash, a description of any non-cash property, and the goods-or-services statement. Use no other legal sentence.
- What the lawyer must review
- The IRS says a written acknowledgment for a charitable contribution of $250 or more must contain the name of the organisation, the amount of any cash contribution, a description (but not the value) of any non-cash contribution, a statement that no goods or services were provided if that is the case, a description and good-faith estimate of the value of any goods or services provided in return, and a statement that any goods or services consisted entirely of intangible religious benefits if that was the case. A donor may claim a deduction for a cash gift only if the donor keeps the required written records. You check this template once against that list and lock it. Later receipts use the locked wording. You still confirm the amount and the description against the gift record. Do not have the charity value the non-cash property on the receipt.
