The notion of getting something extra for donating has come up a few times. I think it's best to just accept that you get the server to play on. As you can all see, it has been incredibly stable and solid in terms of performance (server and network). They overcame issues related to DDOS attacks part of which involved moving to a much better colocation facility, all thanks to the money from donations. The larger one-time donations help but I think a consistent monthly amount would be the biggest help. I pretend that I have a subscription and send $15.00 / month for each active account in my house. Not everyone can afford to pay a lot or anything but I know that every little bit helps and is truly appreciated by the admins of the servers (and also by all of the players who play on this stable and solid server). The admins don't actively campaign for donations all the time (beyond the donations button) but instead rely upon us all to show our appreciation and desire to have the server around for years to come by sending in some money when possible.
