Give directly to the charity yourself, you’ll get a sticker and sometime a free pen.

Lol. I can confirm, it’s true!

Joking aside, some of my most cherished possessions are hand-written thank-you notes from worthwhile causes that I support.

(Especially ones from children! “Donors Choose” is great when I need some crayon drawn notes in exchange for buying some school supplies.)

(And given the context, I should clarify, from my own money, not someone else’s.)
