It is entirely up to the people recieivng the benefits to return anything.

According to psychology, people actually do donate because they expect something back.
For example; If you are a donor, you do it because you do good, and/or because you would also hope you got an organ or what ever if you needed one.

That might sound reasonable, but in fact thats not even true.
Most of us spent more money on virtual shit, as on charities. In fact, humans are social, but even if they live in luxury, they will not give away a lot of money to charities, of course 10,000 dollars is a lot, but those who donate it, either have a reason (Friends, Family, Recognizable situation, etc.) or just have a lot of money.
Of course there is a chance you are a super well doer, but probably not.
