How Pure Charity Handles Donation Receipts and Year-End Tax Statements
Individual Donation Receipts
- Online donations (credit card, Apple Pay, PayPal): Donors automatically receive a receipt by email immediately after their donation is processed.
- Check donations with an email on file: Donors receive a receipt by email once the check has been processed.
- Check donations without an email on file: Donors will not receive an individual receipt until the year-end statement is mailed to them.
If a donor requests a copy of a past receipt, you can resend it from your Nonprofit Dashboard. Learn how to resend donation receipts.
Monthly Statements
Monthly giving statements are available to donors immediately following each month. Donors can access their monthly statements by logging into their Pure Charity account at purecharity.com/account/statements.
Year-End Giving Statements
Year-end statements — which donors need for tax deduction purposes — are available by January 31st each year.
- Donors with an email on file: Receive an email with a link to access their year-end statement online.
- Donors without an email on file: Receive their year-end statement via physical mail.
Donors can also access their year-end statements at any time by logging into their Pure Charity account.
Why This Matters for Your Nonprofit
Automated receipting and year-end statements mean your nonprofit doesn’t need to spend staff time generating tax receipts or mailing statements. Pure Charity handles the entire process, including IRS-compliant formatting and delivery. This is especially valuable during the busy year-end giving season and tax preparation period.
