Offline Donations

Offline Donations

Overview

You can accept cash, checks, bank transfers, and pledges as a part of your campaign!*

Once you have received an offline donation, you can then include it on the campaign page by entering the donation through the dashboard.



Tax Receipts for Offline Donations

We will send offline donors an automatic 'Thank You' email once you have entered the donation through the dashboard. However, since CauseMatch cannot verify that the funds have reached you, you are responsible for issuing a tax receipt after the campaign.

Before the Campaign

Decide how to collect and record offline donations

Know who from your team will enter offline donations through the dashboard

Prepare to issue the tax receipts after the campaign

*You can also collect donations from alternative payment options or third-party voucher companies, but we do not recommend this. This option is available only as a last resort for individual donations and not for the bulk of your campaign.
