Donation lifecycle

Donations go through states from creation to payment.
A donation goes through a number of states before it is ultimately paid to the recipient. A created donation can begin with either the pending or pledged status, depending if the pledge property is true.
When a donation's status changes, the associated Event objects are created. These Event objects can trigger webhook events.

Donation has been created and is pending pledging. The donation will not progress through the donation lifecycle until it is pledged.

2. pledged
