How can I effectively solicit for GIFTS -under the GIFT TAX RULES, for my GoFundMe Campaign??

I am about to launch a GoFundMe campaign to attempt to transition from being a FT professional English As A Second Language(ESL)/ English Language Arts(ELA) Teacher to a published author of primarily the same subjects - educational, teaching, and guidance books. In my GoFundMe narrative, I refer to my extensive (and ongoing) medical complications which have made my teaching practice (to date) so encouraging and effective, with also the continued yearning to globally and exponentially reach more "students." My questions are: (1) In simple language, what exactly is the donor's benefit should he/she pledge a gift -up to $14K- to me? (2) Can the GIFT first be pledged by the donor, then when given, be directly submitted, at the request of the donee (me), to a medical and/or educational institution (and then of course, be beyond $14K)? (3) So that I do not break what constitutes a "sale" (with NOTHING exchanged in return for the GIFT), in order to thank the donor for his/her generosity, can I offer him/her discounts to my book(s)? For example, can I list his/her name on a donor list (if agreed upon)? (4) If I solicit for the GIFT, is the GIFT still a GIFT? Thank you!!
