I also thought about "Einkünfte" but dropped that term because it is a
legally very specific term:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eink%C3%BCnfte
"Einkünfte sind im Einkommensteuerrecht am Markt erwirtschaftete
Vermögensmehrungen."
And (again IANAL) I think a donation or (maybe more specific *) a gift
(Ger: Schenkung) not necessarily refers to "Einkünfte".
Therefore I used "Zuwendungen".
* I'm also unsure about the term "donation" (Ger: Spende) because it
suggests some kind of legal entity (at least according to German law).
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spende
"Spendenempfänger können gemeinnützige Vereine, Stiftungen, politische
Parteien oder Religionsgemeinschaften sein."
That's the reason that we have proxy organizations like Zwiebelfreunde
*e.V.* that forward the money to the project (which might be a gift then?).
Therefore, if Alice wants to support Tails by giving 10 EUR, she can do
a /donation/ (may even be "zweckgebunden"/"restricted for a specific
purpose") to Zwiebelfreunde e.V. or put it as /gift/ into the (- if I
remember correctly - funnily enough "donation" labeled) box at 3${digit}c3.
On the other hand I read
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spende#Rechtsfragen
as if everything is a gift as long as it is not about tax law.
If the tax authorities legally accept your expenses/gifts to someone as
donations, then they become donations. (but that's only the view from
Germany and again IANAL)
