offerings
Contributions to receive
Offerings are things presented or made available.
The core sense is religious—gifts given to a deity or for sacred purposes: burnt offerings, a collection plate for offerings.
More broadly, offerings are what's on offer: a company's product offerings, a restaurant's seasonal offerings, a university's course offerings.
The word suggests items put forward for consideration or acceptance.
