How do I make an offline donation?

The correct way to allocate cash donations and ensure they are tax deductible or if you need bank details to transfer the donation.

Updated over a month ago

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)
​

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.


If you wish to conduct a direct deposit with your cash donation please contact our customer service team to send you then details. [email protected]
