The CDPATH is the directory where cd searches for the current parameter. 
You should make the obove line

CDPATH=:/home/donn

Please note that there is the empty directory as the first entry. Now if 
you are in / and enter "cd Projects" the cd command looks for Projects in 
the current directory, that would be /Projects. If that doesn't exist it 
will try /home/donn/Projects. Granted, it isn't exactly what you 
initially requested, but it is rather close IMHO.
