Contribution Statements In Canada

Ministries located in Canada must display their Canadian Charity ID and a signature on each contribution statement (Canadian donation receipt).

Canadian Charitable ID

To do this, insert your ID in the Regional Settings located at Settings --> Admin Settings --> Regional Settings.

After you have inserted your number, contribution statements will automatically display your Charity ID.

You also have the option to upload a signature to be automatically printed on each statement. Select the upload button (to the right of the Charitable ID field), then upload a lpg or png file of your signature.

We recommend updating your signature each year to avoid having an outdated signature.

Printing Contribution Statements

To ensure proper documentation, receipts should not be sent via email, and members should avoid using Church Connect to generate or view their receipts.

Instead, you should use the Bulk Report from the GIVING Screen to generate the contribution statements. Learn more about Contribution Statements › Using Church Giving software to print contribution statements

After generating the report, save it as a PDF and issue each family from that saved file.The reason for this is that every time a report is generated, it creates a different receipt number, so it’s important to issue receipts directly from the saved PDF to ensure consistency.
