Like most non-profits, I'm sure they needed to purchase equipment, pay utilities, have insurance, and hire employees. The $5 donation allows them to pay these normal operating expenses. Whether the donations were sufficient to generate a surplus, or if there was a deficit, we don't know.
Even a non-profit organization needs operating cash.
