CANADIAN CHURCH ADMINISTRATION GUIDE
How to prepare charitable donation receipts in Canada.
For churches and registered charities, receipt preparation starts with accurate donor and donation records.
1. Confirm the donor information
Keep the donor’s name and address information complete and accurate before preparing official receipts.
2. Review recorded gifts
Verify the donation dates and amounts and determine which gifts are eligible to be included.
3. Maintain consistent receipt numbering
Keep receipt records organized so issued receipts can be traced later.
4. Retain receipt history
Keep a reliable record of receipt generation and distribution with the related donor information.
Important: This page is an administrative overview, not tax or legal advice. Canadian charities should follow current Canada Revenue Agency requirements when issuing official donation receipts.
