Yeah, that's gonna make things weird.
Christophelous:
Why'd he want to donate anonymously if he was just gonna bring it up the first chance he got? And why didn't he just say "I'd rather not say"?
Sorflakne:
NOW KITH!!

It's not generally known in the QCverse that this is possible. Yay asked Roko to keep quiet about it for this reason.

Yeah, I'm struggling with this too. I can more or less buy him letting her know that he contributed, even though he previously said he didn't want her to know; it seems like the sort of thing that you might want to get out there because it would make things weird if you kept it from them and they found out later.
But I can't imagine that he would tell her the actual amount if it was as large as the comic implies.
Of course, May would probably just have badgered him until he gave in and told her.

For me, the Internet settled that one. Decisively.

I like SMBC's take on it.

Because there was no gracious way out of the question as soon as May asked it - she would've kept badgering him to disclose the amount.
My guess is he brought up the donation since he wanted May to make an informed decision around 'pursuing a sexual relationship with the man who supplied part of the money for my new body'.
