Charity Receipts
Some sites will give the option to give a Charity receipt for Donations. To enable this, check the box that says ‘Request Charity Receipt?’
It is up to the Partner to honor this request. Partners are provided with your primary email at Newskey and a record of all the donations you have given to them through Newskey . They are also responsible for establishing the time period for the receipt (i.e once a year, etc.), and when that receipt is provided. Contact the organization directly regarding Charity Receipt details, and how they approach it, Organizations may ask for more information such as mailing address, etc.. Newskey cannot answer these questions on behalf of the Partner.
Note the check box is either on or off for the entire organization – you cannot request charity receipts for individual donations and not others Also, if you turn off the charity receipt option for a site, you will not receive receipts for previous donations.
