"Thank you for your donation of $enter_description_here". (On letterhead is good). Do not put an estimated dollar value, because that gets into depreciation headaches. Let the donator decide the value, keep out of it. To encourage more donations, put in something about your program.

All we usually do is mail them a receipt in the form of a statement on letterhead saying we've received y item in value of $y. Sometimes the estimate can be a little bit of a negotiation, though. -Starchy On 15-12-24 15:34, john boris wrote: Where I coach football we are upgrading our weight room with a Smart TV and also an online program that the players can upload their lifting stats and we can publish them on the TV. So the alum that is spearheading the project asked me about getting some used tables for us to keep in the Weight room for the players to use to log into the site and enter their data. It is a great opportunity for our alums to give back to the program and a great time as people will be getting their new toys. So I was wondering if anyone on the list has handled electronic donations for their organization and had a way for the person making the donation get a tax write off I would appreciate some pointers. -- John J.
