donators
Those who give
Donators is a less common variant of donors—people who give something, typically money or goods, to a cause or organization.
Both words mean the same thing, but donors appears far more frequently in standard usage: blood donors, organ donors, campaign donors.
Donators sounds slightly awkward to most English speakers.
