Tax ID, 501(c)(3) and Receipts
Our Tax ID number is 13-5644916.
If you require proof that LLS is exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, please download our IRS determination letter.
Tax receipts
As you acknowledge your donors personally, LLS acknowledges them officially. Our thank you also serves as a tax receipt. The IRS does not require tax receipts for donations under $100.
- Offline donations from $100 to $249 are acknowledged via postcard.
- Offline donations greater than $250 are acknowledged via letter.
- All online donations (via your eFundraising page) are acknowledged via email.
If someone who donated $100 or more has not received an acknowledgement within six weeks of their donation, contact your team manager for assistance.
Auctions and In-Kind Donations
For goods or services, LLS can provide an in-kind gift receipt. This
receipt acknowledges that the gift was given to benefit LLS, and that no
goods or services of any kind were provided in exchange for the gift.
LLS may not legally list the estimated amount or market value of the
in-kind gift. The donor needs to assign that value themselves.
LLS can issue tax receipts to those who purchase auction items as well
(assuming the proceeds benefit LLS). In this case, LLS would issue a
receipt for what the donor paid above and beyond the fair market value
of the gift.
