What is a Donation Agreement?
A donation agreement, also called a charitable gift agreement, is a document that established proof of a donation or gift to a charitable organization. It is an important record for both the charitable organization (the receiver) and the person or entity donating (the donor) because it supports internal record-keeping and aids with tax preparation.
A donation agreement will include the names of the parties, a description of the donation, whether a receipt that was given, and possibly the intended use for the donation. The agreement should also include a revocability (whether the donation can be taken back) section and define expense responsibility.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
