Why not just delete those fields entirely? I don't see much purpose to publishing them, even where they are anonymous.
I'd say just a daily breakdown of donations received would be more than adequate to answer people's legitimate curiosity about how the fundraising went. Even breaking it down to individual donation amounts seems a bit much to me, although I don't really see any harm in it either.
I personally see an advantage to showing each individual transaction by day, so that if someone wanted to make sure that their $21.00 transaction on then 17th was counted and didn't "fall through the cracks", they could verify it.
Also, it will also show the donation amounts, so that people who would normally not consider donating because their donation might seem to little might be encouraged to see donations of $1 or $2 (it only taked a few thousand of those to add up to some big money)
