DONATED GOODS
A donation of goods, etc., needs a letter signed by the treasurer thanking the person for the donation of (description of item or items) to the church. The church does not assign a monetary value on the letter. It is up to the individual and the IRS to determine the value. If they have a receipt (just purchased) and want to donate, then this can be done in Jewel. However, the church board should approve before receiving the item if it is of considerable value. Usually it is something the Board has already voted and the member buys but chooses not to get reimbursed, but wants on their receipt for tax purposes.
- In Jewel, write the donor an Electronic Payment check (isn’t tied to bank internet, just takes current number off check and as-signs a negative number). File the receipt as usual with the other church bills.
- Fill out a Tithe envelope as if the donor had signed the electronic payment check and given it back to you as a donation. Enter the envelope as an offering on a date other than a Sabbath (Not with regular offerings, because there is no actual money to take to the bank.)
- On the next bank reconciliation, clear the Electronic check and the Deposit for the of-fering as neither will ever appear on a bank statement.
