giving to Charities / organizations selfless or self gratifying?

I was watching Oprah the other day and she publically announced (twice) that she was to donate $50K of her own money to some fund.

And my first thought was ... how generous of Oprah.

Then i wondered does she ( or anyone else) who wants to publically (whether that be in the limelight or amongst friends/family colleagues) announce donations because they are self-less or because they like the self gratification it brings?

Is annonymous giving the sign of actually giving for that cause and not to be able to point out your own name or to bring forth attention on to your own self?

Any thoughts?
