  Fortunately, every contribution generates an activity, so you can achieve your goal with just an activity search.
  
  In SearchKit:
  
  1. Search for contacts
  2. With Activities (required)
  3. Group by: Contact ID
  4. For every activity column you add, use the "Group First" aggregate function, order by date.
