The Internal Revenue Service recognizes “Out of Pocket Expenses in Giving Services” as charitable contributions if specific criteria are met. To assist you in documenting these expenses, The Ohio University Foundation issues charitable gift receipts, recognizing these expenses as in-kind contributions. Per IRS regulations, gift-in-kind receipts include an itemized listing of contributions but do not include a dollar amount. Please consult IRS Publication 526, Charitable Contributions, and your personal tax advisor for additional information and to determine the tax deductibility of these expenses.
Please complete this form within 45 days of your volunteer activity and include copies of your receipts. Mail your completed form and all supporting documents to:
