Is it worth to buy those Donation Offers?

If you were already considering donating to support the game, then donation deals are the way to go. Rather than selling tech as income, you could potentially fill your aid slots with cash every 10 days, and you would grow much quicker. Then, once you reached a desirable infra level, switch to taking in tech payments and continue to skyrocket your growth that way.

However, keep in mind how easily pixels are destroyed in war. Infrastructure that took a year to build can be destroyed in a week. If sometime down the road you don't want to be disappointed that the bonuses you paid for have been destroyed, then perhaps invest your cash elsewhere.

At your size, the only reason to donate for the bonuses for your nation would be to acquire wonders faster, as that's the biggest disadvantage you'll be at for several months, if not longer.

Should I still buy the donation offers when my nation is big?

There are a few different scenarios in which you would be buying/selling donations:

  • You want cash - As an underdeveloped, tech selling nation, buying a donation for somebody and receiving a large sum of CN money in return is beneficial.
  • You want tech - Once you switch over to tech buyer, buying a donation for somebody is a great way to receive large amounts of tech quickly.
  • You want the infra/land/XP bonuses - For well developed nations, who are looking for a cheaper alternative to buying infrastructure by paying in-game tech/cash in return for a donation bonus. The more infra you have, the more expensive it is to purchase. If I paid you $36 million in-game money in exchange for a donation deal, I would gain: $10,000,000 Money, 600 Infrastructure, 600 Land Miles, 60 Technology, Wonder purchased date reset, Resource changed date reset, +20 To All XP Levels. As a well developed nation, $10 million is a drop in the bucket, so that doesn't matter. Land is nice, but not exactly worth paying the cash/tech for. 60 tech should be a drop in the bucket at this point. Wonder and resource reset is also not exactly worth paying the cash/tech either. The XP reward is fantastic, as is the infra. Let's look at the infra:

I paid you $36 million for a $30 donation. At my current infra level, 600 infra would cost me $294,948,316.51 and I only paid you $36,000,000 for it. So really, all the rest of the bonuses are just sweeteners to the deal, besides XP.

 

So really, you can buy/sell donations at any size to suit your needs. As a sub-5k infra nation you'd receive cash, and as a medium to super-tier nation you can decide between receiving tech payments, or buying a donation for yourself for the infra boost.
