gratuitous gift
Explanation:
gratuitous gift. A gift made without consideration, as most gifts are. Strictly speaking, the term looks redundant, but it answers to the donum gratuitum of Roman law.

Past consideration is not consideration, and consideration must move from the promisee (“offeree”) to the promisor (“offeror”). If a promise is unsupported by consideration it is regarded as a gratuitous gift which will not be enforced in contract law unless contained in a deed under seal.

Gift

A voluntary transfer of property or of a property interest from one individual to another, made gratuitously to the recipient. The individual who makes the gift is known as the donor, and the individual to whom the gift is made is called the donee.

If a gratuitous transfer of property is to be effective at some future date, it constitutes a mere promise to make a gift that is unenforceable due to lack of consideration. A present gift of a future interest is, however, valid.

non-quid pro quo gift


Explanation:
If you do not give a donor something in return for his or her contribution, this is a Non-Quid Pro Quo contribution, which is more typical.
https://501c3go.com/2012/08/10/the-irs-speak-more-latin-non-...

Official non-quid pro quo gift acknowledgment letters will contain a statement that no goods or services were received because of a contribution and/or provide a description and good faith estimate of the goods or services rendered, if any.
