= In-Kind Donation Receipt Task List =

Use this when a donor gives items, goods, or other non-cash donations and needs a receipt.

== What to do ==
# Open the donation form:
#* https://docs.google.com/document/d/10RUWeUY3OP_Nlgee2cwNNbnfaq3v8e81/edit
# Print the form.
# Fill it out clearly for the donor.
# Include:
#* donor name
#* date received
#* description of the donated items
#* ministry or department receiving the donation, if needed
# Make sure the item description is specific enough to be helpful.
#* Example: "4 winter coats, 2 boxes of diapers, 5 bags of clothes, 10 boxes of canned goods"
#* Not just: "miscellaneous items"
# Do not assign a dollar value to the donated items.
# Make a copy or take a photo of the form to send to Treasurer for church records.
# Give the completed receipt to the donor.

== Simple reminders ==
* Be neat and legible.
* Use the donor's full name.
* Be specific when listing donated items.
* Do not estimate or write in a cash value for in-kind gifts.
* Keep a copy for church records before giving the receipt away.

== If you are not sure ==
* Ask the office before giving the donor a completed receipt.
* If the form is missing details, contact the donor before finishing it.
* If the donation is unusual or high-value, ask leadership or finance to review it first.
