In that case, I think they need to find a better word than donations. When I donate something, I'm not expecting anything in return, but investment doesn't work either. Contribution?

Well, technically the word Kickstarter uses is "backing the project." You can choose the amount you want to "back" a project. Honestly, the idea is pretty self-explanatory, I don't think the wording matters that much.

Yeah kickstarter uses the word backers. They ask you to help fund the project.

Also earl, kickstarter got a ton of coverage on cnn a while back when julia nunes used it to fund her latest album.
