When someone makes a donation through a Facebook Fundraiser, a payment receipt is sent by Facebook to the primary email listed on the donor’s Facebook account. This payment receipt includes the organization’s tax ID number and confirms that the person has made a donation as a charitable contribution and that they’re not receiving any goods or services in return.

Donors through Facebook Fundraisers may also find their donation under “Payment History” on Facebook, where a receipt can be printed.
