Under the Settings tab from your dashboard homepage, click on Plan and Billing.

Select the checkbox next to “Donations are tax-deductible and will show the Organization Name and EIN at the bottom of my receipts".
The following message will now appear on your donation confirmation emails:
🎭 Noteworthy: When items are purchased in a fundraiser, the cost of the item (set in the Campaign dashboard) is subtracted from the total paid. The cost should reflect the actual value of the item if it is being given to the patron. For example, if a box of cookies costs the organization $10 and they sell it at a fundraiser for $15, then $10 should be set as the cost of the item and $5 of that box of cookies is tax deductible
