"Donations" in most contexts are just income with no expectation of a product in return. e.g. twitch donations, patreon donations PayPal had to explicitly ban the use of the word "Donation" for non-tax-exempt companies for instance. I don't think calling the contributions donations will change much and it may actually complicate the payments for tax reasons.
