Yep. That’s why some of the biggest weasels are always known as ‘philanthropists.’
A truly religious philanthropist does his giving in secret...the ones that do it with great fanfare and accept recognition are only interested in it as a means of deceit and power.
Yes, According to the Talmud the highest form of tzedakah or charity is when the giver doesn’t know to whom it is (eventually) given and the receiver doesn’t know from whom it came. Quietly and respectfully given.
