How to print Donation Statements (Contribution/Charitable Receipts)


  1. From the Contributions Screen, click on Reports and then Receipts.
  2. The current calendar year will automatically be selected. To change the date range to a different year or time frame, click on the Start or End date buttons to change the dates.
  3. There are multiple report format options available. Choose from the following options for the receipts:
    • Quarterly Format - This option will print the amount given on the receipt broken down by quarter. This option is selected by default. This can be used with any one year time frame that begins on the first of the month.
    • Show Itemization - This option shows all contribution amounts by date, including the amounts necessary for IRS purposes. This option is checked by default.
    • Exclude Non-Deductible - This option will exclude all non-deductible contributions. Non-Tax Deductible contributions will not be included on the receipt.
    • Exclude Header - This option excludes the header section. The church name, address and phone number will not be printed. (For printing on letterhead paper)
    • Exclude Type - This option excludes the contribution type (Check, Currency, Goods, etc) from the detailed listing of contributions.
    • Exclude Receipt # - This option excludes the receipt # from the header. A receipt number will not be printed.
    • Include Date Issued - Select this option to include the date issued or printed on the receipt.
    • Canada Format - For Canadian churches, this option will print the information required by the Canada Revenue agency. The church's Charity BN/Registration # needs to be entered into the Federal ID box in the Church Information setup so that this number will be included on the receipt.
    • Show All Funds - This option will print all funds on the contribution receipt, even funds that a contributor did not give any money to.
    • Sort Funds by Fund List - By default, the funds are listed on the receipt in alphabetical order. Use this option to have the funds appear in the same order as in the fund list.
    • Use Secondary Addr. - Check this option if you want to print receipts with the secondary instead of the primary address. The primary address will be used if a secondary address does not exist.
    • Add Logo - See How do I add our logo? for instructions.
