> This is a reward for achieving a place on the Olympic team.

Well, that makes it seem like this isn't a donation then at all, if you need to "achieve a place on the Olympic team"? I thought this was given for people to be able to better reach that, not as a "reward".

This is a "prize" it seems to me, not a "donation".

It really seems like you're intentionally trying to strain definition of words. What is a prize if not a reward?

Sure, prize and award is the same, you're missing my point.

The title right now is "Ross Stevens Donates $100M to Pay Every US Olympian and Paralympian $200k", while after our conversation, it's pretty clear that this isn't a donation at all, it's a prize/reward for doing something specific. If you don't do that thing, you (and your family once you die) don't get the prize/reward.

Not only is the whole "once you die" part really strange way of trying to "reward" people, it isn't even a "donation" which the article seems to want you to believe.
