voluntary contributions
Unprompted charitable gifts
Voluntary contributions are payments made by choice rather than requirement.
The phrase often appears in contexts where obligation might otherwise apply—charitable donations, pension top-ups, or community fundraising: The project was funded entirely by voluntary contributions.
The emphasis on "voluntary" sometimes signals that pressure exists even if compulsion doesn't.
