To make the participant aware that the activity is funded, at least in part, by donations, and they may be asked for a contribution.
Why is this not covered by existing properties?
Whilst issue 234 adds a donation link to the activity, this can only be used before they move to the activity. This boolean would be used to tell users that an activity can be donated to, without the actual donation prompt.
The key difference being, that some platforms/providers may only wish to prompt donations after the session has been run, or at some other point in the user journey.
Proposal
Add a new AcceptsDonations property to Events of type bool to show that donations are accepted, though they may be prompted later in the user's journey
Just a minor point that this should be cased as acceptsDonations for consistency with schema.org (and hence other properties within OpenActive specifications.
