The GNOME Foundation is currently in a critical financial situation,
so the notification is not going to be removed from Debian at this
time. The reminder notification is set to only show twice per year.
There is a similar successful KDE campaign.

You can disable the donation notification on your systems with this command:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.housekeeping
donation-reminder-enabled false

Thank you,
