Hello listers,
I work for a small non-profit historical society. I noticed that we rarely give receipts. We have a membership system where the standard annual membership is $10-15, but when someone contributes, say, $100, should we be giving them a receipt? Does any of that $100 constitute a donation? In return for their membership fee, they get a newsletter twice a year and some discounts on entry fees, visitor's center items, etc. Are those few things really worth $100?
I guess what I'm asking is, where do you draw a line and give a receipt as a 'donation' and when are they just getting something in return for their money (assuming I don't need to give a receipt for that)?
Any comments are much appreciated.
Thank you!
