How it's used
While 捐款 is the standard term for donating money, it carries a slightly formal tone compared to simply saying 捐錢. It is frequently used in the context of organized charity drives or official fundraising campaigns. When speaking casually, people often prefer the more direct 捐錢.
Examples
He is very kind-hearted and donates every month.
