Maybe it depends on *how* anonymous they want to be.  The usual
reasons are "not seeking publicity" and not wanting to get sold off on
some charity sucker list.
I've done some database work for the local public radio station.  As
far as I know all donations are listed under the donor name in the
database, but access is for those with a need.
For our dance series, so far, the anonymous donations have all been
cash in the hat by the cashier table, and probably nothing over $10 at
a time.

  Hi,
        At a recent board meeting the subject of how to handle anonymous
 donations came up.  We are wondering how other organizations handle the
 issue of who on the board knows who the donor is. How do you record the
 information and where is that information stored so as to protect the
 anonymity of the donor?
 Thanks,
