[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it "best practice" for any organization to send a formal letter acknowledging receipt of a donation and indicate the amount and year in which it occurred so you can use it for tax filing? Our schools have done this...[/quote]

Of course it is, [b]despite that most people, OP among them for sure, don’t itemize[/b]. But yes, obviously sending thank you notes is part of the job. But people are human, those development assistant jobs are incredibly demoralizing and underpaid. I for one, give people grace and seek gratitude from where it really matters. [/quote]

Not sure where you get the impression that "most people...don't itemize."  Most people in the tax bracket who send their kids to private school and make donations DO itemize. I realize with a DAF, OP already took the tax deduction of the funds donated, but it doesn't matter. Most organizations still send out acknowledgement letters/emails regardless of whether it is a personal check, credit card, or DAF payment.
