At <a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/\">Donorbox<\/a>, we understand that nonprofits have plenty on their plates to take care of &#8211; never mind spending countless hours finding out what they need to do to make sure they&#8217;re sending out CRA-friendly donation receipts. So, we&#8217;ve taken care of the hard part and completed the research for you.<\/p>\n<p>Donorbox receipts can easily be made compliant with the CRA&#8217;s standards. This blog post will detail how our receipts are <em>already<\/em> compliant and what you can do to make sure your receipts further meet the standards set by the CRA.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Canadian government, receipts should be read only by the receiver. While Donorbox receipts can be viewed or printed by the donor, they are not editable by anyone but the organization. The CRA also requires that an organization retains a copy of all receipts for up to two years.<\/p>\n<p>Organizations using the Donorbox platform have access to these receipts in their dashboard by viewing each transaction.
