By making the request, those who would normally assume a gift is what you want, are made aware of what you really desire.
Furthermore, since you are asking for a charity donation it is best to give details of the charity. You cannot ask for someone to make a donation to some charity they have never heard of.

Provide a bit of background regarding the history and what type of charity it is. You may also include a story of why you have chosen this charity such as an issue in your family that makes it important or just because you feel it is a viable charity.
The more you share, the more confidence others have in that charity and the more willing they are to make a donation. You can also request the donations to be anonymous if you do not want to make others feel uncomfortable.
