You need a Revenue or Income account for each as well.  In fact, you 
could probably dispense with using the A/R, unless you have donors who 
donate on a regular basis, or you hold post-dated cheques.  I assume 
that you do not have a large number of donors - what you're proposing 
could be time-consuming.
