Not to be overly pedantic, but tweets can contain links, including links that go directly to the fundraising call. The compact visual design for tweets make the URL and call to action very explicit and obvious. And people can choose to retweet/quote-tweet the tweet-with-a-fundraising-link for further emphasis.

For example, here's the thread author quote-tweeting the beginning of his thread, which allows him to prepend both a tl;dr and a link to "archive.org/donate"
