Giving Statement Email - Statement Message

For Giving Statement settings I can add a custom Statement Message to the PDF version but not the Email version. According to the IRS, https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1771.pdf, I need to add a message to the giving statement that says no benefit was received. I am not able to add this required statement to the email making it where I am not able to send giving statements through the email option. To comply with IRS regulations please add the option to add a custom statement message to the email as you have already for the PDF.

    I completely agree. The email giving statements are worthless without the ability to add the tax-deductibility statement and are unprofessional without a note of gratitude. There is also a need for receipt amount, but not receipt number.

    This right here makes the giving statement emails worthless to me. Otherwise they would work well for my organization, but without that line, I can't use them.

    Yes!!! I agree! I am so surprised that Blackbaud, being such a leader in the area of donor platforms, does not have this set up.

    Also, there are a few columns (Receipt and Receipt number) that we do not want to appear. Please allow for us to choose which columns to include and which ones to eliminate.
