OP Q: What did you donate to the charity auction?
A: I gave a book.
I gave a book (to the charity).
You could, for example, just bust out and say "I gave a book to the charity," but if you just said "I gave a book" people would be wondering to what or whom you gave it. In your example the "charity" is understood from the context.
