In fact instead of adding such a statement there, we should add it to  
some permanent place on our website and/or Wiki. I.e. something to the  
effect how we plan to use any money we gain through donations,  
GOG.com, GSoC (Google) or any other means. On such a page, we could  
also prominently feature the donation and GOG.com banners/buttons, and  
list some things we actually *did* with the money in the past. Such  
as: paying for IDA licenses for n people in year X; buying game Y;  
paying for flight Z. And if there are any games we'd love to get  
donated, we could list those there (like, Zak FM-TOWNS copies for  
everybody would be great *ggg*).
