No, a donation is, by definition, a gift. There is also the possibility of a "pledge", which is a promise of a future donation. Some pledges may be enforceable if they are obtained in exchange for a benefit. For example, "pledge tonight and get a copy of the video", would be an offer to enter into an enforceable contract.
