Danish term or phrase: donor
Hello!
I'm translating a form to be filled in by companies that want to participate in a charity project. The companies need to describe themselves and how they can add value to the project. One of the blocks in the form has the following title:

Faglig profil/kapacitet, erfaring med tidligere projekter og andre donorer

I'm not sure what this "donorer" is referring to here. Help!
Thanks.

Explanation:
donor = someone who donates money (to charity, for instance).

Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English has this on 'donor':
a person, group etc that gives something, especially money, to help an organization or country:
We urgently need more assistance from donor countries (=countries that give money, food etc to help in poor countries or disaster areas).
An anonymous donor (=whose name is unknown) has given £500 towards the restoration fund.
