Yes all that and much more.
Donations do not disincentivise productive work as taxation does. Donations can bring you closer to the cause you are helping. You feel personally connected to it and more often get to see its effects. It builds community. Charities have to compete in a free market for who provides the most value. And they know if they do not perform they can't just steal more money from people. The people accepting the charity realise that this was a gift from an individual not just from the unlimited resources of the government. Fosters gratitude rather than entitlement... and the list goes on.
