Exactly, you've got the idea. Maybe allowing the donator a small bloglet (under 256 chars or so) describing what they believe they are contributing to (task-wise). Of course you shouldn't post anything confidential - just allow the person to confirm what they do or don't want announced. Regardless, you're doing a bang-up job.
As far as dontating directly to Haiku, I'm sure they're busy doing actual development rather than the whole 'business management' end of the project (at least, I hope) which would be the most likely reason you haven't gotten much of a response. Programmers program, managers manage. As an outside project, this offloads the daily grunt-work of accounting and report filing away from the coders. It's a bit strange, but so is the BeOS community.

How do i make the accounting more visible? I suppose I could print a pdf of the account and post it, but I have to take people's privacy into consideration...
It does say if you want your fullname posted I will do that, or an alias, otherwise your first name gets posted...
