Being one of those now-notorious 527s, MoveOn.org is limited to promoting issues, not candidates. That's why I wondered what you want your focus to be, in making the donation.
The DNC can use the money to openly promote Kerry.
MoveOn.org would have to use the money to promote, say, keeping abortion safe and legal. Their swing-state volunteers -- provided they abide by the 527 regulations -- would have to go canvassing for issues, not for any one candidate who supports those issues. All rather messed up, IMHO, but then nobody asked me before writing the 527 regulations. :-/
