There is yet to be an official format for donation receipt forms. This has led to organizations that mainly deal with philanthropists to fund their operations to largely configure their own unique donation receipt formats. In essence, these forms should include the information provided below. This receipt can take various forms e.g. postcards or emails. The layout and format is left to your discretion.
