    verb
    Present participle of donate.

    The company is donating a portion of every sale to disaster relief.

    Donating regularly to local food banks helped them weather the shortage.

    Note

    The -ing form does double duty. After a form of be it is a verb in progress (the company is donating), and it can take an object or stand alone, since donate works both ways: donating blood, donating to a food bank. As a gerund it fills a noun's slot, either as the subject of a sentence or after a preposition, as in thanks for donating. The silent e of donate drops before -ing.
