Invoicing for donation

Hiya,
Joined a small charity as a trusts fundraiser
One of the processes newly in place was for a company to donate to us and as a thank you we list them in our brochure under a thank you to the following heading
They have 10 companies who agreed to donate by the end of the month
Our commercial director has said she feels we should invoice the companies for have not yet paid for the donations pledged. I just wanted to see if anyone knew if that was deemed okay to invoice for a donation in this way ( as it would seem more of an agreement than a donation ) or whether we are better off just contacting then with a reminder at the end of the week or something like that
Many thanks

We receive invoices almost every day, but unless they have our order number on, they go in file 13 ... whilst the invoicer is left to pay the VAT included on that invoice to HMRC

That depends on how your VAT is set up doesn't it? Can't you account for VAT on money received?We receive invoices almost every day, but unless they have our order number on, they go in file 13 ... whilst the invoicer is left to pay the VAT included on that invoice to HMRC
OP, if companies have promised to pay it seems entirely sensible to refer to the email or letter and write to ask if the payment is on its way. An invoice seems a bit over formal to me - almost implying that the next step would be a court claim if they don't pay pronto!0 -
Has the brochure been published yet? If not, when's it due to go to print?
I wouldn't invoice but a reminder would be perfectly acceptable.Signature removed for peace of mind0
