How to eliminate this behavior permanently?

Within LibreOffice, view the Open Expert Configuration¹ and search for LastTime. Change the values of LastTimeGetInvolvedShown and LastTimeDonateShown to the maximum allowed value of 2147483646.

The value is a UNIX timestamp of when the infobar was last shown.

Source: Get Involved - Infobar


¹ To find this, select menu - Tools/Options, and in the Options dialog, navigate to LibreOffice/Advanced - the "Open Expert Configuration" button should be on that page.

How can I eliminate this behavior permanently?

There is a Stop Begging extension in the LibreOffice Extension and Templates Repository:

Prevent the infobar from asking for more money or involvement at startup.

Starting in LibreOffice 6.2, every 90 days you will be asked either for more money or to increase your involvement. This configuration/settings extension disables that timer, so that you never see these infobar notices.
