Where can you find templates for annual church contribution letters?

FreeChurchForms.com and FreeChurchAccounting.com provide templates and samples of letters for churches to send to members of their congregations acknowledging their annual contributions. These letters are necessary for congregants to deduct their charitable contributions when filing their tax forms with the Internal Revenue Service.

Letters acknowledging donors' contributions must include the church's name, address and phone number and the donor's name and address. They must also include the year and amounts donated during that year. The IRS also requires a statement in the letter acknowledging that the donor didn't receive any goods or services in exchange for his contributions. Churches must also provide itemized contribution statements to each donor.
