Matan (מתן) = gift

B'Seter (בסתר) = "in secret," or "anonymous."

An anonymous charity providing support so that the recipient is unaware of the source, and the donor is unaware of the recipient.

In Judaism, it is considered more pious for the giver and the receiver of charity to be unaware of each other. In this way the giver is giving because he is mandated to (and not to be able to gloat) and the receiver is not embarrassed to take the charity given.
