Any person receiving money or anything having a value of $5 or more from any contributor under a solicitation or sales solicitation for a charitable purpose made pursuant to a Certificate of Registration granted under this Article, or any person receiving money or anything having a value of less than $5 from any contributor under a solicitation or sales solicitation for charitable purposes made pursuant to a Certificate of Registration granted under this Article when the contributor so requests, shall give to the contributor at the time the contribution is received a written sequentially numbered receipt signed by the solicitor showing plainly the name and Certificate of Registration number of the charitable organization for which the solicitation is conducted, the Internal Revenue Service and California Franchise Tax Board tax exempt identification numbers, if any, the date and the amount received, and whether the contribution, or what part thereof, is tax deductible; provided, however, that where a solicitation is made and a donation is received for a ticket of admission to an event held specifically to raise money or any other thing of value for charitable purposes, such ticket, when retained by the contributor, shall constitute a valid receipt if it contains the name and Certificate of Registration number, the person from whom the solicitation is conducted, the date and location of the event, and the amount received. This Section shall not apply to any contributions collected by means of a sealed or locked box or receptacle which shall have permanently imprinted on it the name of the Certificate of Registration holder used in solicitation with the written approval of the Chief of Police or his or her designate, where it is impractical to determine the amount of such contributions.
