German term or phrase: Zahlscheinspender
This is about charitable fundraising:

Die Kampagnen haben die Gewinnung von Paten, Dauerspendern, Zahlscheinspendern und die Erreichung der ideellen Ziele von XXX zum Zweck.

I find "payment slip" as a translation for Zahlschein, but I have no idea what that means, or how people would donate to a cause via "payment slips."

Explanation:
Thanks to Chris for the reference, but I don't agree with his translation.

These pieces of paper are called deposit slips, and also known as paying-in slips in my native UK. The charity sends them out to its supporters, preprinted with its bank details. The supporters fill in their details, and take the cash and the deposit slip to the bank. The bank transfers the donation to the charity.

They're a bit oldfashioned now, but a lot of charity supporters are older people who want nothing to do with online banking.

Here's an example. You can either print it out yourself, or the charity will print it for you.

agree  Alexandra Hirsch (X): Yes. I use them. There is a dispenser at most bank branches (near the ATMs/cashpoint machines) and Barclays calls them "paying-in slips."
