Giving Back ?

I've read in a couple of places that persons who have "made it", strongly recommend giving back. They have said that by giving money away, it has come back to them many times over. I haven't read any specific examples and was wondering if anyone could attest to this or share an example.

Couple of situations I could see would be as follows:

1. Donate to a political campaign.
2. Donate to the charity of a company that you wish to do business with.
3. Donate to a charity in return for marketing, networking opportunity.
4. What about donating time as in volunteering?

Some of these raise ethical questions as well, but that's not necessarily the point of the question. I believe in giving back, but the opportunities are endless and I think focusing on opportunities that could be symbiotic would be better. Any thoughts?
