Donate Toward?

An attached image is a part of TOEIC test example.
In the example article, I can't figure out why the word toward is used.
Was it a substitute for to in "donate to"?
Could you tell me, please?

Was it a substitute for to in "donate to"? 'Donate for ' is probably a closer paraphrase, but yes. All three prepositions are in use and essentially synonymous here.
