Q:What is a gift confirmation receipt and how does it differ from a regular tax receipt?
A: A “receipt” refers to any document issued by Sheena’s Place to confirm that we received something from another party.

A: Yes. You will receive a tax receipt for one-time donations of $10 or more. Tax receipts for monthly donations are mailed in February.
