1) Porting for dontations
When you do something FOR a donation, you are implying a donation is required, thus removing the volunatry aspect of it. A fee is required but the specific amount of the fee is variable based on many factors.
2) Porting ! Donations accepted.
If you do something and advertise that donations are acepted but not required, this reinstates the voluntary aspect of the arangment and you get what you get if people feel they want to donate.

Donations, by definition, are not obligatory, regardless of people's anti-pedantic ways.

Just set up a price if you expect people to pay you for something you're advertising as free.
I would never pay anyone for a service they are offering me for free.

Why does this concept confuse so many people?
