If they want to do donations, they should set the limit to something like $1000 and you get your name on a wall or a paving stone somewhere.

I'd be fine if they limited the amount that could be donated, although $1,000 seems low, but I would limit recognition to a transparent list of donors. If they want to limit eligibiltiy to individuals and exclude corporations, I'd be fine with that.
