Why it exists The gap

Compliance-grade receipts, without the overhead.

The IRS requires written acknowledgment for charitable contributions of $250 or more, with disclosure rules that change by donation type and amount. Most small nonprofits handle this one of two awkward ways — and neither fits an organization that just needs correct receipts.

The slow way

By hand, in Word

Free, but slow and error-prone — and hard to keep consistent across a full year of gifts and donation types.

The expensive way

A full donor CRM

$50–200+ a month and far more platform than a small nonprofit needs when the actual job is issuing acknowledgment letters.

Donor Receipt Generator

Compliance-grade letters built straight from your own QuickBooks data, for $9 a month. The smallest tool that does the job correctly.

Built for 501(c)(3) nonprofits on QuickBooks Online that need IRS-compliant donor acknowledgments without the overhead of a full donor management platform.
How it works The workflow

Connect, review, generate.

The whole flow runs on the donation data already in your books. You stay in control of every detail — the app does the assembling, you do the confirming.

Step 01

Connect QuickBooks

Authorize the app through Intuit's standard OAuth consent screen. Nothing to install, and access is read-only.

Step 02

Confirm your organization

Your name, EIN, and address are pulled from QuickBooks automatically and used as the letterhead on every acknowledgment.

Step 03

Map your donation accounts

Tell the app which QuickBooks income accounts receive contributions, so it knows where to look.

Step 04

Scan for donations

The app reads deposits, sales receipts, and journal entries across the period you choose and lists every gift it finds.

Step 05

Review each gift

For each donation, confirm the donor, the donation type — cash or non-cash — and whether any goods or services were provided. Nothing is assumed on your behalf.

Step 06

Generate the letter

The app produces an IRS-compliant PDF acknowledgment for each reviewed gift, with the right disclosures for its type and amount.

Step 07

Download

Save a single receipt, or batch the entire year's acknowledgments into one ZIP for mailing or your records.

Human review, always No receipt is generated without a person in the loop. The app surfaces the data and proposes the right letter; you confirm every detail before anything is produced. That review step isn't a formality — it's what keeps each acknowledgment accurate and defensible.
What it handles Receipt types

The disclosures the IRS actually requires.

Acknowledgment requirements shift with the size and nature of a gift. The app applies the right disclosure to each donation type rather than producing one generic letter for everything.

Donation type Threshold What the acknowledgment includes
Cash contribution ≥ $250 Standard written acknowledgment: organization name, EIN, date, amount, and a statement of whether goods or services were provided in exchange.
Quid pro quo contribution > $75 A good-faith estimate of the fair market value of goods or services provided, and the deductible amount remaining after that value is subtracted.
Non-cash contribution ≥ $250 A description of the donated property. Per IRS rules, the letter states no dollar value — valuation is the donor's responsibility.
Non-cash contribution > $500 Everything above, plus a guidance note pointing to Form 8283, Section A, which the donor files with their return.
Non-cash contribution > $5,000 Everything above, plus a guidance note on the qualified-appraisal requirement and Form 8283, Section B.

990 Books Two ways in

Self-service, or fully hands-on.

The Donor Receipt Generator is a tool you run yourself. Our bookkeeping and Form 990 practice is the hands-on engagement, where we keep the books and prepare the return. Some organizations use the app on its own; some are clients who use it as part of their workflow. The two reinforce each other — pick the one that fits where you are.
