The Sunnah
The Prophet ﷺ mentioned seven whom Allah will shade on a Day when there is no shade but His, among them: "a man who gives in charity and conceals it, so that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given."
Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 1423
The Science
Hidden giving guards the heart from showing off and pride, keeping the deed purely for Allah and protecting the dignity of the one who receives.

1
Choose a cause or person quietly, without announcing it
2
Give anonymously — in a sealed envelope or anonymous transfer
3
Avoid mentioning the gift to others afterward
4
Renew your sincere intention that it is for Allah alone
