Receipts aren't required for donations under $250.
Nearly all my donations are done online. I just tag the receipt email with the label "Charity" and look them up when doing my taxes.
As jray said, you likely will not benefit from a tax perspective. You'd need over $12,000 in total deductions to itemize. Without a mortgage, that's pretty hard to achieve. Shouldn't stop you from doing so, though.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
