From their policy:

AFAIK simply taking donations counts as "commercial purpose". You are free to dislike their policy though.

Sure, okay, but the certificate would never have been used to transact those donations. If you own a car, and you don't want dogs in your car, what does it matter if I put my dog in someone else's?
I think they just care whether or not you're making money with the site period. As in, money that could potentially go towards a paid certificate.
