If you go to church and drop $500 in the bucket, with no receipt, you won't get through the audit, if you have one.
If you give $500 to your college, but ask that it be kept confidential and anonymous, they employee in the "alumni giving office" can give you a receipt, but not tell the rest of the world who it is from. In this case, you have a receipt, and the IRS auditor would be okay with it.

No, because you must get a receipt from the organization in order to be allowed to deduct it, and you couldn't do that if you made the donation anonymously.

Sure, but if the IRS ever audits you and asks for proof of your donation.....
