Both are correct. "Donor" is much more common, it always bothered me that the word "donator" was chosen here instead.

"Donor" makes me think of blood/organ donors.

Haha yeah, I agree... donor makes me think of body parts, too.
If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it.  There was never anything there in the first place.
