Often true. But local charities often have ways to advertise their donors. Sometimes it's an announcement at an event. Often it's a paper shape like a leaf or whatever that you write your name on. There are entire brick walkways with sponsor names on them. One nearby town has benches and chairs everywhere, often with a person's name on them -- some are memorials.

I tend to favor individual projects so I don't have to try convincing other people to do something. I'll pitch in with a community effort if it appeals to me though.
