The free daily receipt

Updated November 1, 2026

FreeCharityReceipts gives every registered charity one free receipt per day, for a gift of up to $10,000 CAD. You don't need an account or a card.

How the free receipt works

It is counted per registration number, not per person. If a colleague already made today's free receipt for your number, it is used.
It covers a Cash Donation only.
It covers a gift of $10,000 or less.
The day is counted in UTC, so it resets at midnight UTC. That is 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time or 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

What you see on the form

Once you type your registration number, the page checks it. If today's free receipt has already been used, you see Daily limit reached! and the form is disabled. It works again when the day resets, or when you are signed in with credits or a pass.

When you need credits instead

You need credits or a pass for:

a second receipt on the same day for the same registration number
a gift over $10,000
Gift-in-Kind or Gift with Advantage
a correction

See Credits and passes.

If you are signed in

Signed-in users with credits or a pass pay with those. The free receipt is used only when you are signed in with no credits and no pass, and only for a cash receipt.

Common questions

I got "Daily limit reached!" but I haven't made a receipt today. Someone else may have used the free receipt for your registration number. Also check the number for typos.

Amount Exceeds Free Tier. The gift is over $10,000. Sign in and use credits for that receipt.

Can I save my free receipts for later? No. Each day's free receipt is available that day only.
