Looks good!

IIRC there are tools that generate one for you, given a few parameters
(I'm optimistic enough to believe that providing two colors may be
enough parameters) so perhaps that's not a hard task. Anyone willing
to give it a try, enjoy!

I like it. Maybe this is important enough to be reviewed by native
English language geeks?

The two occurrences of "and" in a row, that have different roles in
the sentence, makes it a bit confusing to me.
Maybe adding a comma helps a bit: "Show your friends that you care
about privacy and Internet freedom, and encourage others to do the
same!".
Or: "Show your friends that you care about privacy and Internet
freedom! Encourage others to do the same!".

I agree it's not clear cut; let's not do it (too bad, I really liked
the idea :)
(Meta: it's very unlikely that we can ever make such a decision based
on actual data, so let's not raise the bar for suggestions to
unrealistic levels.)

Indeed, that's a very important point.

Not only it's legitimate, but also I _guess_ that being told what the
money is used for can help motivate people to donate.

Yes! I think that's the best way to handle this.

I like the idea of a toggleable area, hidden by default. A pie chart
would be ideal, but if time is scarce, a bullet list of the biggest
expense accounts with percentages would already be great :)

Great!
Just curious: is it on purpose that no goal is set for this donation
campaign? Is it because we don't have an easy way to display its
progress yet? If it is so, I wonder: perhaps setting a clear goal,
even without progress indication, would help potential donors
understand what the order of magnitude is, how much money we need to
keep the thing rolling. I'm not sure.
Cheers,
