anonymous donation
Unattributed charitable contribution
An anonymous donation is a gift—usually of money—made without revealing the donor's identity.
Charities and institutions often receive anonymous donations from benefactors who prefer to give quietly, whether from modesty, privacy concerns, or to avoid solicitation: The scholarship fund was established through an anonymous donation.
The anonymity may be complete or known only to the recipient organization.
