Door Prizes – The Basics

If you include door prizes (advantages) as part of your fundraising event, you will have to apply the rules of split receipting to determine the eligible amount on the official donation receipt.

Your Charity will have to:

  • determine the fair market value (FMV) of the door prizes, even if they are donated
  • determine if the FMV of the door prizes are minimal, i.e. they do not exceed the De Minimis threshold. (10% of the ticket price or $75,whichever is less)
  • not include them in calculating the eligible amount, if the door prizes are considered De Minimis
  • deduct the FMV of the door prizes per ticket in determining the eligible amount for the donation receipts, if the door prizes exceed the De Minimis threshold
