Donor Acknowledgement Letters

This guide will instruct you on how to send a personalized donor acknowledgement letter.

Introduction

With Mazlo, you can generate donor acknowledgement letters automatically when you, a team member, or one of your projects tags a donation with a tax-eligible code. You can then customize the tax letter, download it as a PDF, or email the letter directly to the donor.

Enable Accounting Codes to be Tax Eligible

Step 1: Click the Gear Icon ⚙ in the Upper Right Corner and Click on Accounting

Within your organization's accounting settings, you can open your accounting codes to enable eligibility to receive a donor acknowledgement letter with a tax receipt.

Step 2: Open the Accounting Codes Tab

When you open Accounting, first you'll land on your organization's live P&L. Click on the 'Accounting Codes' tab to start building your chart of accounts.

Step 3: Enable Tax Eligibility for A Revenue Code

Select a revenue code you want to enable the tax letter eligibility for. Click on the code to edit it.

Step 4: Toggle the Tax Eligibility On

It will turn green when it's activated.

Send A Personalized Tax Letter

Step 1: Select a Transaction to Add the Tax-Eligible Accounting Code

Click on the Transaction to open its details.

Step 2: Add the Tax-Eligible Code and click Save

Now, any incoming revenue reconciled with this code will appear on your tax letters page.

Step 4: Add a Personalized Note

From the drop-down menu, select 'Personalized Note.'

Add the message you'd like to include on the tax acknowledgement. Click Save once complete.

Step 5: Download and Review the PDF of the Tax Letter

Select 'Download PDF' to download a PDF version of the document. You may prefer to print and physically mail tax letters, which makes this option ideal.
