Notes for the Treasurer or Authorised Signatory of the Church:
1. Donors requiring a receipt should fill in the Christmas Bowl gift envelope slip or provide their details to the authorised signatory of the church/group to obtain a receipt.
2. These receipts are carbonized in triplicate. Please print in block letters using a ball point pen on one set of receipts at a time to avoid accidentally marking through multiple sets.
3. Please fill in the ID number of the church/group if known – it is printed above the church or group name on the Remittance Form.
4. The authorised signatory of the church or group must sign the receipt to make it valid.
5. Please prepare a single receipt made out to your church/group equal to the value of your anonymous/ open plate collections. If no receipt is issued, Act for Peace will send a receipt to your church for (C) the Anonymous/Open Plate amount only.
How to Use the Remittance Form:
1. Deposit Christmas Bowl cash and cheques at your local ANZ bank using the deposit slip at the bottom of the Remittance Form.
2. Have the teller stamp the Remittance Form or provide you with a receipt.
3. List all cheque details (Drawer, Bank, Branch & Amount) for the bank on a separate piece of paper.
4. No ANZ bank in your area? Please send the Remittance Form with cheque(s) covering the total of your remittance (excluding credit card gifts) to Act for Peace. Include the envelope slips with credit card details for Act for Peace to process.
On the Remittance Form:
1. Fill in the church / group’s contact details
2. Under ‘Gift Summary’, fill in the date and the bank branch location where you are making the deposit.
3. Insert the amounts for gifts received as indicated on the form. Please note that Act for Peace will process all credit card gifts, but please still issue receipts for these gifts.
NOTE: RECEIPTS SHOULD EQUAL THE TOTAL CASH, CHEQUE AND CREDIT CARD DONATIONS INCLUDING ALL OPEN PLATE / ANONYMOUS GIFTS.
