Why

 * Giving and philanthropy is good.
 * Announcing or sharing your support on the web can encourage others to act. This might be similar to the effect of announcing one's having registered to vote or announcing that they voted.
 * Repeat medical donors blood, marrow etc. might enjoy tracking milestones in the progress/total contribution over time, or comparing their donation history with others (e.g. this note about giving blood could perhaps have been a donation).

Twitter

 * Circa 2011 (or perhaps even before) there was a Twitter movement by a number of non-profits to create a "Giving Tuesday" on the Tuesday following Black Friday and the subsequent Black Monday on the days following Thanksgiving in the United States. This resulted in people making status updates or note posts about donations they were making, typically with the hashtag #GivingTuesday.
 * Follow Giving Tuesday on The Chronicle of Philanthropy
