Install a Linux distro, and donate it as is (as long as it actually runs).
LinuxMint is probably fine on it.

There are no real hardware "upgrades" you can do, without changing the whole thing.

try a cheap SSD and 4Gb RAM

As Helpstar has said a SSD will make a big difference and going from 3 to 4GB will also help....

I would donate it like it is without any upgrades. There's no point upgrade only one or two parts. To make it better significantly you will have to upgrade all of it's parts, basically buying new computer. Plus, it will be hard to even find such an old parts.

It's just DDR3 RAM and the drives would be using SATA, both easy to find. Even a faster CPU is not too hard to find. With only 2 gb of RAM and an older drive it will be a big improvement to have a 120 gb ssd and another 2 gb of RAM in it.

SSD and ram would be the only things I would suggest.
