Donorbox

With 2026 right around the corner, you might be anxiously thinking about year-end tax receipts for your donors. No need to feel overwhelmed. With Donorbox, you can send every donor a tax receipt with just a few clicks! ✨ Take it from Lisa Mirarchi (Woods) of K9 Hurricanes Heroes: "One Donorbox feature that has saved me time is year‑end tax receipts. You press a button and they go out. If I had to do that manually, I can’t even begin to think about how much work that would be." Plus, you can edit the email template and download printable PDFs to mail out. 🧾 Sending receipts is a great way to thank your donors and acknowledge how much their gifts mean to your organization. Our blog offers a step-by-step guide for making it easy: https://lnkd.in/gjyrUAyJ

🥁 And the very last stop of our Wish List Wipeout was… the San Diego Humane Society!

Our #WishListWipeout rolled into Texas yesterday, where Donorbox’s Ryan Matthews and Jesse White were excited to give back to our nonprofit partners at the Yellow Bike Project. 🚲 Yellow Bike works to get more bikes on the streets of Austin by teaching mechanics and repair at free community workshops, donating bikes to youth and adults in need, and facilitating reuse. They’ve refurbished over 1,100 bicycles, donated 700+, and diverted 18 tons of steel, aluminum, and rubber from landfills. There are always more bikes to fix and more potential cyclists who need them, and it’s the support of volunteers and donations that sustains their important programs. 💛 Ryan and Jesse delivered bikes and helmets to help stock up for the holidays and got to see the Yellow Bike team in action. One final stop remains on our Wish List Wipeout. Any guesses?

Curious about the “Chipotle approach” to appeals? Ryan Matthews explains how it can inspire year-end giving in The Lead Pastor. Hint: it’s all about choice.

As colder weather sets in, animals in shelters need care and comfort. 🐾 That’s why our #WishListWipeout took us to the Humane Society of Forsyth County. HSFC is a no-kill, adoption-guarantee facility that provides compassionate care for every cat and dog until they’re placed in a loving home. Over the years, they’ve helped more than 30,000 animals find their forever families. To help support the animals and their Pet Food Pantry, Annie Swart and Lindsey Bower stocked up on essentials from HSFC’s donation wish list, including pet food, chew toys, and cleaning supplies. After delivering the items, they got to tour the shelter and say hello to furry friends. 🐕 Follow along as we share more moments of joy through giving back! 🎁
