Are there any other organisms in nature besides the donkey and the horse that can produce offspring?
Pretty much all organisms can produce offspring.
If you're asking if there are species other than donkeys and horses that are cross-fertile, the answer is still yes. Most felids, for example, are cross-fertile with other species within the same genus, as long as the size difference isn't too great. Lions and tigers, for example, can certainly mate and produce offspring, and domestic cats can (and often do) mate with the smaller varieties of wild cats.
For an example from the plant world, nearly all citrus fruits are hybrids. The key lime, the citron, the pomelo, and the mandarin orange are pure species, but lemons, most limes, most oranges, and grapefruits (for example) are all hybrids.

How much does it cost to keep a pair of donkeys a year?
Well I'm assuming you have a decent fence and plenty room to roam already. So after all that you need the donkeys and to feed and water them for water I recommend a nice big trough either that or a constant flow of water like if you have a creek or river. After that food... A bag of grain will feed two donkeys for a bit over a week assuming you have plenty of grass for them to munch on in between. A bag of grain where I'm at cost ten bucks but I'd average about twelve plus you would need hay every once in a while and that will last them a bit over a month if its a roll or a week if its a cube. I honestly cant say how much hay is since its been all over the place recently. I personally seen thirty dollars for a roll of hay however it is not in the best condition but at the same time donkeys aren't exactly picky. Aso it will probably take two bags of grain during the winter season as grass is sparce so adding it all.

You would be looking at around 900 dollars a year not to mention what it ould do to your water bill if you were constantly filling a trough but there you are I hope this was helpful I made it as accurate as possible.
