I donate where thing seem interesting, or where I really honestly enjoyed something. I also donate in the interest of karma and networking, I'm planning on trying some crowd-funded things of my own when I have more followers/friends/readers/fans, etc. I also, almost exclusively, only donate to people with at least a small following. Those people seem more trustworthy, in some way.
Like ankewehner above, meters work as incentive for me too. I can see how much the creator has and how much they want/need/what their goal is, and the visual feedback of, "I donated and the meter goes up!" is just pleasing, somehow.
