Well the OSMF doesn't have a mechanism where bandwidth can be offset
against donations, but I'm sure will welcome any donations you care to
make irrespective of your bandwidth use. Your third option it to use a
third-party tileserver, many of which are available for low or zero
cost for light use, and therefore spread the load away from the OSMF
tileserver.
