AID Boston 5011 Tecumseh Street College Park, MD 20740, USA We issue receipts for donations made to AID in the US. We send email receipts to all donors who's email we have on record. We send paper receipts to donors who make a contribution of $75 or more. Currently, we send out paper receipts only once a year in January which lists donations made by a donor in the prior year. Both email receipts and paper receipts can be used to claim tax deductions.
Within how many days of making a donation can I expect a receipt?
For Credit Card transactions, email receipts will be issued within 5 days from the time the transaction was placed online.
For Checks, email receipts will be issued (if we have your email in our database) as soon as the transaction gets processed by the bank and we receive notification of the same. This could take any where from a few weeks to up to 2 months. Consolidated paper receipts, which can be used to claim tax-deductions, for both credit card and check donations, are mailed out to our donors by the end of January each year for donations totaling $75 or more made in the previous year.
If a paper receipt is required before January, please make a request to our donor relations and fundraising team. Please be sure to provide all the following details in the email, so that we can expedite processing/issuing your receipt. For checks, include: check number, amount/s, full name, address, phone, email, date check was sent and address check was sent to.
