donation box

Container for contributions

A donation box is a container placed in a public or semi-public location to collect voluntary contributions, typically cash.

Churches, museums, and charities use them to gather funds without requiring direct interaction: Please leave what you can in the donation box by the entrance.

The box provides anonymity and convenience for both giver and recipient.
