Usage Note

Donación covers charitable giving (hacer una donación — 'to make a donation'), organ donation (donación de órganos), and legal gifts of property. The person who donates is a donante (m/f), and the verb is donar. Donativo is a near-synonym but tends to refer to smaller, voluntary cash contributions, especially in religious or charitable contexts.
