Because some do it so others will respect them. Some even plaster their names on foundations. Like the Guggenheims, Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller Sr., Andrew Mellon, and J. Howard Pew, but it also looks at lesser-known donors like George Eastman and J. Paul Getty. They are out for worldly glory.
Jesus says to do it in secret. So only heaven knows.

He criticized them because the were doing it to look good. They were not doing it because it was the right thing to do or because they really meant what they were doing. They did it for honor and the praise of those around them. Jesus wants us to give out of love for others not to gain the love of others.
