CiviReport uses the word "Donor" in many report titles and report template titles, these reports show all people who have made a contribution of some sort (event fee, donation, campaign contribution, and any others you add).  In CiviContribute not all people who give you money are "donors" because contributions are not all donations.

The report titles should probably be changed (or the criteria changed) to reflect the fact that they are reporting on more than just donors, but also people who give money for other reasons, like event fees.
