You can qualify for taking the charitable donation deduction without a receipt; however, you should provide a bank record (like a bank statement, credit card statement, or canceled check) or a payroll deduction record to claim the tax deduction.
Getting a receipt every time you donate strengthens your tax records if you are audited. If you make a large donation and don't have (or can't find) the receipt, the donation will almost certainly be disallowed on audit. For this reason, it's best to set up a record-keeping system at the start of each year.
A donation receipt is a written acknowledgment of a donor's contribution to a charitable organization. It helps supporters and nonprofits keep good records of gifts and offers an opportunity for nonprofits to express their appreciation.
Typically, they are only necessary for people who make donations of $250 or more. Nonprofit or charitable organizations typically create donation invoices after they've processed incoming donations. These organizations then send the donation invoices back to their donors.

The Donation Tract was a land tract in southern Ohio that was established by the Congress in the late 18th century to buffer Ohio Company lands against local indigenous people. Congress gave 100-acre (0.40 km2) lots to men who settled on the land.
Items Goodwill does not accept Large exercise equipment. Chairs, stools, or couches. Mattresses or bed frames. Desks or office furniture. Tables. Dressers or bookcases. Pianos or organs. CRT TVs.
Goodwill receives more donations than it can process or sell. As a result, a significant amount of donated clothing and goods ends up in landfills. This contributes to environmental waste and undermines the sustainability goals of many donors.
Ing to the IRS, any kind of donation above $250 should require a donation receipt. The same applies to stock gifts/donations.
