Manually creating tax receipts for your donors can be time-consuming for organizations in Canada. RallyUp lets you automatically generate and send your donors a tax receipt when they make an eligible tax-deductible donation on one of your fundraisers. 

Automatic Canadian tax receipts are available to use for any organization in Canada. You can customize the receipts with your organization’s branding and information.

Eligible Donations

According to the Canadian Revenue Agency, tax receipts can only be sent for donations where the donor did not receive goods or services in exchange. Here are some examples of eligible and ineligible donations:

 Eligible donations:

• Crowdfunding Campaign donations that don’t come with Perks
• One-time or recurring donations through a Donation Page
• Flat and per-unit A-Thon donations
• Direct donations (without receiving goods or services in exchange)

 Ineligible donations:

• Raffle or Sweepstakes entry purchases
• Store item purchases
• Auction item bids
• Event ticket purchases

The system will automatically detect the kind of donation the donor made and send them a tax receipt if applicable.

Good to Know

• The Canadian Revenue Agency has specific requirements about what information needs to display about the donor and organization on the tax receipt, such as the donor’s address and middle initial. This information will be automatically collected in checkout from donors so that it can be used to generate tax receipts.
