And the monero donate address starts with an 8, so saying they start with 4 might be confusing as alphatomcat said.

### The Basics
When you send Monero to someone you only need one piece of information, and that is their Monero address. A *raw* Monero address is a set of 95 characters starting with a '4'. The Monero donation address, for instance, is 888tNkZrPN6JsEgekjMnABU4TBzc2Dt29EPAvkRxbANsAnjyPbb3iQ1YBRk1UXcdRsiKc9dhwMVgN5S9cQUiyoogDavup3H.

Because those addresses are long and complex, you will often encounter an @OpenAlias address instead. For example, Monero donations can be sent to donate@getmonero.org or donate.getmonero.org.
