Charity is not always money. There are many forms of sadaqah.
Abu Dharr reported Godโs Messenger as saying, โIn the morning alms are due from every bone in a manโs fingers and toes. Every utterance of โGlory be to Godโ is alms; every utterance of โPraise be to Godโ is alms; every utterance of โThere is no god but Godโ is alms; every utterance of โGod is most greatโ is alms; enjoining good is alms; forbidding what is disreputable is alms; and two rakโas which one prays in the forenoon serve instead of that.โ Muslim transmitted it.

Charity should not be publicised
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (๏ทบ) said, โSeven are (the persons) whom Allah will give protection with His Shade on the Day when there will be no shade except His Shade (i.e., on the Day of Resurrection), and they are:
A just ruler; a youth who grew up with the worship of Allah; a person whose heart is attached to the mosque; two persons who love and meet each other and depart from each other for the sake of Allah; a man whom a beautiful and high ranking woman seduces (for illicit relation), but he (rejects this offer by saying): โI fear Allahโ; a person who gives a charity and conceals it (to such an extent) that the left hand might not know what the right has given; and a person who remembers Allah in solitude and his eyes well up.โ[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].(6)

Confirmation of the reward of the one who gives Charity, even if the Charity ends up in the hands of an evildoer, and the like
Abu Huraira reported Allahโs Apostle (๏ทบ) as saying:
A man expressed his intention to give charity, so he came out with charity and placed it in the hand of an adulteress. In the morning, the people were talking and saying: charity was given to an adulteress last night. He (the giver of Sadaqa) said: 0 Allah, to Thee be the praise-to an adulteress.
He then again expressed his intention to give charity; so he went out with the charity and placed it in the hand of a rich person. In the morning the people were talking and saying: Charity was given to a rich person. He (the giver of charity) said: 0 Allah, to Thee be the praise-to a well-to-do person. He then expressed his intention to give charity, so he went out with charity and placed it in the hand of a thief. In the morning, the people were talking and saying:
Charity was given to a thief. So (one of the persons) said: 0 Allah, to Thee be the praise (what a misfortune it is that charity has been given to) the adulteress, to a rich person. to a thief! There came (the angel to him) and he was told: Your charity has been accepted. As for the adulteress (the charity might become the means) whereby she might restrain herself from fornication. The rich man might perhaps learn a lesson and spend from what Allah has given him, and the thief might thereby refrain from committing theft.(8)

Do not belittle any oneโs charity
It was narrated that Abu Mas โud said:
โWhen the Messenger of Allah commanded us to give in charity, Abu โAqil give half a Saโ, and another man brought much more than that. The hypocrites said: โAllah has no need of the charity of the former, and the latter only did it to show off. Then the following was revealed: โThose who defame such of the believers who give charity voluntarily, and such who could not find to give charity except what is available to them.โโ[10]
