HI,

If i understood it correctly you want rollup on contact of 1time donation field of transaction custom object. there are three solutions to it.
1. Either you change the relation between both object from lookup to Master detail and create a Rollup summary field.(if lookup is not mandatory.)
2. If you want real time update then you should write a trigger on Transaction object that every time a transaction record inserted or update it calulate the amount and update it on contact.
3. if your org is big and you have flexibility to update data after a specific time. then only you should write apex batch. 

below link might help you write batch apex.
