Isabelle hinted that villagers could donate to public works projects but that they probably won't succeed without my input.
So I assume I'm definitely going to have to chip some in for this stuff to happen, but when she says that does she mean other flesh and bone players can also donate, or will my NPC villagers also donate a few bells?

Other flesh and blood players can donate to public works projects, even people just visiting your town, not just other residents! Hope for rich friends!
Villagers do contribute towards public works projects, but the amount tends to be so negligible that you'll still end up paying for the majority of the project yourself. They do this automatically, and there's no dialogue option to engage or encourage them to do so.
