Same sort of thing happened to me - the lady paid $900 out and I was told she would upgrade. I have her numbers, but I have not called her. The charity people say she has my number and I have a shop right downtown. If she wants the portrait she paid for she can get in touch with me. I did my part and would certainly do the portrait I donated, but I am not going to stalk her to get it. A friend of mine who has a retail shop says that they love selling gift certificates - it's free money because so few people actually use them!

So take the credit for the donation and don't fret about it. The only thing I wish I had done is specify a time-limit. I'd hate to think of this woman coming to find me 5 years from now or something.
