They're calling it a donation ... we're calling it payback -- either way, Jessica Alba just forked over a whole lotta cash to the United Way in the hopes of making everybody forget the night she vandalized the charity's billboard with shark posters.
Moments ago, a rep for the United Way of Central Oklahoma announced Alba made a donation of more than $500 -- but refused to identify the exact amount per Alba's wishes.
As you may recall, Alba went on a late night tear last week, defacing all sorts of objects with posters promoting great white shark awareness .... in Oklahoma ... where there is no ocean.

We've just learned Jessica Alba will not face charges for defacing Oklahoma City with shark posters earlier this month.
Oklahoma City Police just told us the investigation is closed because no one wanted to prosecute.
Alba was under fire last week after pictures surfaced of her gluing large posters of great white sharks all over OKC, in an effort to raise awareness for the dwindling number of the majestic creature.
One of Alba's victims was a billboard for the United Way, for which she later released an apology.

Jessica Alba is under criminal investigation for daring to take a stand on behalf of great white sharks -- in Oklahoma!
Oklahoma City cops tell us the city's Director of Parks and Recreation -- Wendell Whisenhunt -- filed a police report after photos surfaced of Alba allegedly defacing electrical boxes, a bridge and a United Way billboard. Alba was on a mission, gluing posters that are part of a campaign to save the great whites.
The problem -- the glue is so gnarly the posters aren't coming off. Cops say they want to have a chat with Alba, who's in town filming a movie.
Alba, it seems, is scrambling. Her rep has already called the United Way, offering to replace the billboard.
By the way ... someone please tell Ms. Alba Oklahoma is a landlocked, flyover state.
