Note
A regular plural that covers only the countable side of the singular. Separate gifts, payments and pieces of work pluralize naturally: scientific contributions, monthly contributions to a fund. The uncountable use, the act of contributing itself, has no plural. Contribution as a process stays singular, while contributions names the individual things given or done.
