The recipient doesn’t know the donor, and the donor has no way to prove their identity to the recipient.

Ah I see. I'm not sure that's technically possible, but if it were, that'd be great.

I think better would be simply outlawing any communication between a donor and recipient, if the donor wishes to officially remain anonymous. Not they "have no way" to prove their identity, but they're not allowed to prove it—or even imply it.

Bank statement from around the same time and of similar amount?

Seriously if anyone can spend 100 million dollars and the IRS doesn't know about it, we are doing something Terribly wrong.

It will be claimed on their taxes im sure
