You get karma for comments, including comments signalling altruism. If you want to get karma via saying that you have donated then it becomes a task of maximising the efficiency of your PR exposure. The same applies to other signals, costly or otherwise.
Donating to charity is a less efficient way to gain lesswrong karma than googling for rationality quotes even in terms of time taken to make a donation, neglecting the cost of a donation itself.
I earned more than 100 karma from a single rationality quote, and a max of 56 from any single donation comment.
