donation jar

Collection vessel, transparent

A donation jar is a container, typically a clear glass or plastic jar, placed in a public location to collect money for a cause or person in need.

Often seen on store counters or at community events: There was a donation jar for the family who lost their home in the fire.

The transparency lets people see that others have contributed.
