Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

If you are mining solo, you receive 50BTC + Txn fees for the block.
If you are mining in a pool, the pool divides up the 50BTC among the miners at the pool. (In one of many ways which pays more to the workers who did more hashing.)
If you mine in a pool, and find a block, you have no way to claim all 50+BTC for yourself. It is always divided among the miners in some even fashion.

Donations are welcome!

Miners "pool" the work and divvy up the rewards based on the amount of work contributed.

Still around.

If that were the case there wouldn't be much reason for a pool would there.

The point of a pool is so that you get paid when you don't find a block (but someone else in the pool does).
