You might not need it... Open Collective shows the list of donors and gives you the option to declare that or not, and further Open Collective makes it clear if the tank is full or empty... I should've built that transparency sooner as people would likely top it up when they saw it was empty.
But implementing badges and the like, will take more technical integration, and produce a little rift between the haves and have nots... I always like the "pay what you feel it's worth, according to your means"... and largely that does work.
But warm fuzzies come from being listed on the Open Collective page... and some people absolutely do prefer anonymity to donations, so bear in mind that if you add badges that some will want to hide them.

I see the donation chat is going on here also the idea of member benefits or a badge next to the user name which is where my thinking was going too. Something to make us feel warm and fuzzy, but not restrict those who can't or don't pay.
