I believe it has more to do with accounting discrepancies. Unless the company already has a set process for donating/payments to Open Source Projects, it is a whole process to get that type of payment set up, approved, and paid. Corporates need to answer the what, why, who was/were the payments for. For bigger companies, a non-standard category of $5,000 would be more of an irritation to deal with.

I believe it has more to do with the feeling of "we are in charge of our code", so they don't let anyone pay for any changes/fixes in the code and there can't be any entitlement to more bugfixes should anything break. Donations don't have that moral obligation.
