About this tool
A donation certificate, worded and laid out before you start. The heading is set to "Certificate of Donation" and the citation to "in heartfelt thanks for a generous donation that makes a real difference", across seventy landscape designs (fifty premium ones for this type plus twenty classic frames) and a set of premium portrait designs, which you can switch between without retyping anything. Add your logo, a seal, drawn or typed signatures and a QR code, or fill a whole class from an Excel sheet. A donation certificate is a thank-you, not a tax receipt. Where a tax deduction is involved, issue the official receipt separately and keep this certificate for recognition. Built for charities, mosques, schools and fundraising teams, for when someone gives money, goods or sponsorship. It is normally signed by the chairperson or fundraising lead of the organisation, and once printed it tends to end up displayed at a donor's business or kept as a record of the gift. Type the name, pick a design and a colourway, and download a print-ready file - or paste a whole list of names and generate every certificate in one pass. The whole thing runs locally. No account, no watermark, and no recipient list leaving your computer.

Common uses
- Making something that will be displayed at a donor's business or kept as a record of the gift.
- Producing a full set for a cohort in one afternoon rather than one at a time.
- Charities, mosques, schools and fundraising teams issuing certificates at the end of a programme.
- Replacing a word-processor template that never quite lines up when printed.
- Keeping recipient names off third-party servers where that matters.
Tips for better results
- Remember where this ends up: displayed at a donor's business or kept as a record of the gift. That is the audience to design for, not the person handing it over.
- Print on 160gsm or heavier. Certificate designs look thin on ordinary copier paper, and the difference is obvious in the hand.
- Export at the largest size offered if the certificate is going to be framed.
- Generate the batch, then open the last file rather than the first. Mistakes cluster at the end of a list.
Mistakes to avoid
- Printing the amount when the donor did not ask for it. Many donors prefer the gift acknowledged without the figure on display.
- Choosing a dark colourway and then printing it - it drains ink and reads worse than a light design with a strong border.
- Spelling the recipient name from memory instead of copying it from an official list.
- Leaving the sample recipient name in place on one certificate in a batch.
Frequently asked questions

Most often it is displayed at a donor's business or kept as a record of the gift. Worth knowing before you design it, because that is who ends up reading it.
