Anonymous usually means that they don't want their name to show up publicly.

There's almost certainly knowledge of who that money is coming from at least with a couple of persons that received the funds.

More like they don't want the wider public to know it was them that donated. Some folks that are extremely wealthy go to great lengths to keep their names out of people's minds and stay out of the public eye as a matter of personal security.
