In today’s web world, information and communication is at finger tips with a click of mouse. Templates are one of tailored and readymade formats consisting of all the required contents which are easily accessible for the usage to an individual, small firms and even big companies. While downloadable templates are available through web sites for using directly as they are, or after some degree of customization, templates can be prepared by the user to be used as a new document every time the necessity arises. Templates whether downloaded or made, make the work simple and the layout of the document will be uniform.
While going into the details of donation receipt templates and their usage, it is essential to know about the essence of a donation. A donation is another form of gift given by a person, firm or corporate body to a person, firm or association for the purpose of charitable functions, in the form of cash or kind. A donor is a person or firm making the donation.
Donation is of two types, unofficial and official. Donation receipt is the form provided by the donatee to the donor acknowledging the donation, in writing, which makes it obligatory based on the limitations of the value as prescribed by the law of land due to the nature of the donation being of no consideration in return. In such preconditions set by law, the donation receipt templates are of great help as they are formatted in an appropriate manner. However, for official donation receipts, there are more obligations to be met to match with the circumstances. Official donation receipts are numbered, and also provide the extent of tax exemption, as applicable.
These templates can be prepared using word document, excel, PDF form or any other data base, as per the requirement.
