A personal-gift record is not a charitable receipt
BluGives connects donors with individual accounts. Records available through the application or payment provider can help document a transaction, but they do not turn a personal gift into a tax-deductible charitable contribution.
Useful fields in a personal-gift record
Availability depends on the transaction data. Confirm important fields in your account and with the payment provider instead of relying on a guaranteed template.
Account and recipient
The donor account and recipient account associated with the completed transaction, when available.
Gross gift and fee breakdown
The current donation flow deducts a 3% payment-processing fee and a 2% platform fee from the amount entered. The exact fees and the recipient's net amount are shown before payment.
Transaction date and status
The date, processing state, and payment result stored by the application or payment provider.
Payment provider
The service used to process the payment, subject to that provider's terms and records.
Transaction reference
A reference returned for a completed transaction when that field is available.
Recipient net amount
The amount calculated for the recipient after the disclosed processing and platform fees.
Tax and record limits
A qualified charitable receipt is generally issued by an eligible organization and must satisfy applicable legal requirements. BluGives personal gifts go to individual accounts, so an application history entry or payment confirmation should not be described as a charitable receipt.
Keep the records available to you for personal reference, but consult a qualified tax or accounting professional before using them for a deduction, reimbursement, or formal reporting.
