Like any link that involves money I don't take it at face value and 
approach it independently. For example I have an email from the internet 
archive with a button linked to 

https://archive.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?
u=38bd6154386f64fcd92204a25&id=e63e325a46&e=f57124f0a6

No, thanks. I'll start with looking Internet Archive in the browser, which 
leads to  https://archive.org/.

There is a Donate button leading to a separate page that looks legitimate. 
If you're still paranoid 

Mail your donation to:
Internet Archive
C/O Philanthropy Department
300 Funston Avenue
San Francisco, CA  94118-2116

However there is a note that they cannot accept anything other than USD.
