# Tax Receipting Through GiveGenius #### Overview Before installing the GiveGenius button on your website or sharing your donation link, please ensure your team understands how tax receipts are issued through GiveWise. For tax receipting, donors will need to **create a free Giving Fund** using the same email they used to give. After making a donation to your organization, they’ll be prompted to access their tax receipt by setting a password for their free Giving Fund. This process takes less than 2 minutes. Once their account is set up, all receipts can be downloaded by the donor at their convenience. *** #### Why This Process Exists Our Giving Fund system helps us: * Securely attribute gifts to the correct donor * Issue CRA-compliant tax receipts digitally * Maintain transparent, auditable donation records * Reduce administrative risk and manual errors *** #### If a Donor Doesn’t Create an Account They can still donate using GiveGenius — but **we will not issue a tax receipt** for those gifts via any other method. This is due to CRA guidelines and our internal compliance policies. We recommend being transparent about this with your donors, especially if you highlight GiveWise as a method for strategic or larger gifts. *** #### Need help sharing with Donors?
