The state, condition, or act of being a donor; the practice or role of giving donations to charitable causes or organizations.
From 'donor' (Latin donare, 'to give') + '-ship' (Germanic suffix denoting state or condition). The word emerged in modern English to describe the formal relationship between givers and institutions.
The '-ship' suffix usually describes big, important positions like 'friendship' or 'leadership,' so 'donorship' gives the simple act of giving a sense of formal importance—which actually makes sense for organized charity!
