You can accept donations if you're a for-profit company, there's no rule against that.

You can do crowdfunding. But general donations is illegal in the US if I understand that correctly. https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organizations/charitable-solicitation-state-requirements

Those are restrictions for charitable organizations, not for-profit organizations. AFAIK, for-profit companies can accept donations, they're just not tax-deductible and the corp would need to pay taxes on it since it's income.
