Collecting cash donations is certainly a part of fundraising however for each person who would like a tax receipt or if you want the donors name to appear as an individual donation tile on your page, you will need to individually add this donation to your STEPtember profile.

If you are planning to collect cash donations and your sponsors would like a tax-deductible receipt, we encourage you to keep a record of their details so you can enter the amount later onto your fundraising page.

The details you will need to collect from the sponsor:
1. The donation amount

2. Full name (first and last)

3. Email address (to send them a receipt)
​

For any offline donations you may receive there is a receipt option which can be found by logging onto your STEPtember dashboard and selecting "My Sponsors" then scroll down to select the Offline Donations and select "Add offline donation".

Once you have entered the sponsors details and clicked ‘Save,’ you will then be asked to make the payment which you can do via credit card, Pay Pal or EFT (electronic fund transfer).
​

We highly recommend paying via credit card or PayPal so the donation appears immediately on your fundraising page. EFT payments take up to 10 days to be processed so will not appear on your page for quite some time. EFT payments will also not generate tax receipts for individual donors and all funds will be seen as a single donation from yourself. If tax receipts are important to your donors, please pay by credit card or PayPal.

Please note that before adding another offline donation, you'll need to pay or cancel your past offline donation by clicking on the 'Pay/Cancel' button for your pledged offline donation listed under donations above.
