Are there any standard to have labels about the input necessarily. Shouldn't placement of labels and input fields depend on length, type and other parameters of a form? If you are talking of Haiti... form<https://american.redcross.org/site/Donation2?idb=36705611&df_id=4437&4437.donation=form1&JServSessionIdr004=4jmrp9huq1.app234a>, use of standard terminology is good & preferable. Standard terminology should be adapted throughout the site, not only in the form. But I don't think there use of 'gifts/donations' in contest of the form creates any confusion. Rather use of 'gifts' may be appropriate at places in terms of covering larger set than donations.
