Looks like CEVO recently began their crowdfunding drive for the prize pool.
75% of donations goes toward the Season 4 Main pool and 25% toward the Season 4 Open pool, according to their breakdown. Of course, Main already got $1,300 (65%) and Open $700 (35%) of the initial $2,000 pool.
They also give some interesting incentives to donate - at $20, a shoutout on CEVO-TV during playoffs; at $50, a match broadcast on CEVO-TV; and at $150, a chance to play with CEVO staff. According to Lange in the registration announcement, CEVO-TV casting will most likely be done in coordination with TF.TV and eXtv will also cast matches of CEVO, so it'll be interesting to see who does the shoutouts and casting for those perks.
It looks like even CEVO hasn't properly announced the crowdfunding drives yet (at least as far as a headline on their site or an article here, though the crowdfunding is on the main page), so I'm hoping that Lange & co. have a better overview than I have.

They've tweeted whenever a donation has been made, but that's all I've seen from them.

It looks like those are manual tweets given the format.
Also, I'm surprised to find that this drive's been going on since Friday without any sort of formal announcement anywhere - just a brief mention on Facebook and that was all.

If I donated $50 but don't have a team can I ask for another team to be casted instead

That's correct! I've been doing all of the tweets regarding donations manually. As for a formal announcement, the past few days we have been accepting donations as part of a "soft launch" just to make sure everything was working as intended. We'll be making some official announcements on the website this week with more details.

Thanks for your support! Yes, we'll be contacting all of the donors to get their requests once the season gets under way. We've also added a global donor page, so that anyone can see all of the donations at a glance at http://cevo.com/community/donations/.
