The charitable definition of "donate" implies giving money without getting anything back (except a good feeling).
On my site, I use these divisions: Donate = giving random bits of money in appreciation for my blogging so I can do more of it and/or giving small amounts of money less than a whole poem's price. Sponsor = giving enough to fund publication of a whole poem. Different levels of support get people different perks, so sponsors get the most.
