I'm' pretty sure you can avoid thetgat former just by making it a "business" account (no added fees).

A business account does add fees compared to calling the donations personal rather than business transactions, since I think it forces to the donations to be considered payments while usually the person sending it gets to choose how to mark it and ideally will say it's a gift.

Having them classified as business transactions also provides some form of purchase protection, which makes the likelihood of having payments reversed much higher, and while someone taking back a donation isn't a completely horrible thing to do it can cause unexpected shortfalls.
