Therefore, if you comply with and follow the Brand and Asset Usage Guidelines and Naming Guidelines above YOU MAY:
charge for access to your server, including a server which hosts your Mods, BUT only if:
you make a single charge per person that is the same for everyone;
you give everyone you charge, access to all the Mods that you choose to have on your server (except only in respect of genuine admin tools / admin Mods which should be reserved to administrators);
you only give access to your server to users who have a genuine paid for version of Minecraft;
you own or control the server and continue to do so for the whole time that you charge for access to it - so, if you sell the actual servers or server space with Mods pre-installed on them, you must ensure that the person buying the server is aware that she must follow these rules. Essentially you can't get round the rules above by setting up servers with Mods on and then selling those set-ups; and
overall your access charges should be targeted to cover your operational costs of running the server.
ask for donations (as opposed to direct charges) IF you do not offer the individual donor something in exchange that only he or she can use. You may offer server wide rewards if donation goals are achieved though.
sell cosmetic items, except for "Capes", IF the item sold does not give a user an unfair gameplay advantage over anyone else on the server - i.e there can be no "pay to win".
sell positive effects or enhancements (other than "Capes") IF everyone on the server is positively affected in exactly the same way.
provide in-game advertising opportunities, sponsorships, or product placement for 3rd parties IF they don't degrade or interfere with gameplay or give a user an unfair gameplay advantage over anyone else on the server.
use in-game currencies IF (i) they are "soft currencies" i.e. a currency earned or expended only through gameplay that has no real world value and that cannot be cashed out, used or transferred across free or paid servers, or converted into "credits"; and (ii) you don't give the impression that it comes from or is associated with Mojang.
The OP never specifically said kits as in better items in-game, they could be cosmetic kits for all we know. With that said, it does sound like OP is looking to break the EULA because of how talks about kits. Now if I were to tell OP to use the 'new player' kit process [it's probably a block of code] and replace the part about new players with something about ranks I'd be encouraging OP to break the EULA so I'm not going to.

note: Then I mention a group of people in my posts, i mean the majority of information i have seen from that group, and my statement may not be accurate for every individual in that group.
You are allowed to do this, as long as it's cosmetics like you said (And not capes, of course).
I can't really help out much besides that, I don't have much server hosting/managing experience with Minecraft. Just thought I'd re-assure you that you were reading the EULA correctly.
so when i get a donator and the get VIP i can give them a kit once ingame like tools and stuff?
You should be able to, yes.
I'm not 100% sure on how to do this, as again, I don't have experience for this game, but the process should be similar to this:
Create a group/rank for the Vip/Vip+
Give those ranks permission to have access to the kits you want to give them
Whenever someone donates, add them to the vip group (Either by hand or automagically via plugins or such) and they should get it.
Not too sure if they'll receive the kits instantly or if they'll have to do a command to do so, but it would still work.

You can't do it.Its against the EULA for Donators to get extra stuff that's not cosmetic.Your server will get blacklisted by Mojang if you do.
if that is true why does it say this the bold writing in red
SERVERS AND HOSTING[/header]With hosting servers we want to enable the community to make money by creating, hosting and maintaining servers for Minecraft, so you may do this subject to these Guidelines. You may have seen the Blog post on server monetization https://mojang.com/2014/06/lets-talk-server-monetisation/ and the follow up Q&A https://mojang.com/2014/06/lets-talk-server-monetisation-the-follow-up-qa. This section of these Guidelines clarifies them. By "server," we mean a single connecting address or IP number.
