Invoices are not donation receipts

Use an invoice when the nonprofit is requesting payment for a service, program, sponsorship benefit, facility rental, or product. A donation acknowledgment serves a different purpose. Identify the organization, customer or sponsor, agreement, deliverables, fees, and payment terms without implying a tax deduction.

Restricted funds and sponsorship value

If the payment relates to a restricted program or grant cost share, include the project reference required by the payer. Sponsorship invoices should name the package and benefits. When part of a payment may be a charitable contribution, use accurate acknowledgment language separately and obtain appropriate tax guidance.

How to make a nonprofit invoice in 7 steps

  1. Open the invoice with the fields already set up

    Start from this page so the invoice loads with line items and wording used for nonprofit work. Creating and previewing needs no account.

  2. Add your details and the client

    Enter your business name, address and contact details, then the client name and billing address exactly as they should appear on the record.

  3. Give the invoice a number and dates

    Use a unique invoice number in one unbroken run, then set the issue date and the due date so the payment term is unambiguous.

  4. Replace the sample lines with the work you did

    Swap the example lines for the real job. Describe each item plainly enough that the client recognises it without calling you. The starting lines here open with program participation fee.

  5. Check the totals and any tax

    Totals calculate as you type. Confirm the quantities, rates and any tax line against your own records, since sales tax rules and what is taxable differ by jurisdiction.

  6. State how and when to pay

    Add the payment terms, the methods you accept and any late fee your agreement allows, so the client has no reason to wait for clarification.

  7. Preview, then download the PDF

    Read the finished invoice before you send it. Preview is free; a PDF download costs $4.99, or is included with Unlimited.
