How nonprofits and charities use this certificate

Use them for awards, course completions, volunteer thanks and milestones. A line on why the award was earned makes it mean more than a generic title, and a real signature makes it official. Worth including: what each donation achieves.

Show one specific outcome (for example meals served) rather than general statements. Print one test with the longest name on your list to check it fits.

What to put on it

  • Recipient's name, large
  • What it's for
  • Date and signature lines
  • Logo or seal
