How to determine treasure for characters who aren't materialistic?

I am putting together a campaign for my daughters - late high school / early college age - using the SW5e ruleset. Effectively, this is a total conversion of the standard D&D 5e rules into the Star Wars universe.
My daughters are most drawn to the classes that fall under the Jedi archetypes. As such, in the Star Wars universe there are not a lot of obvious rewards that make sense.
- They would not (necessarily) claim treasure found in the course of an adventure
- Even if they claimed loot, they wouldn't have an in-universe use for it: Their basic needs for clothing, weapons, even transport, are provided by the Jedi Order. For example, most Jedi use their lightsaber almost exclusively, and it's the same saber they've had since they were younglings.
How can I provide treasure that is impactful to them without having them sacrifice their altruistic ideals? I want them to feel like they're getting something without making them feel like they are doing something that isn't in line with their character design.

At the moment, this feel very broad - but that's okay. Would you say that your ultimate goal (which isn't necessarily tied to Star Wars or even 5e) is in how to provide treasure for those not interested in or needing a lot of material possessions?

@NautArch Pretty much exactly that, yes. It's possible that this is also addressed in the older Star Wars RPG books, which I have not read. But the general case is that the characters' equipment and needs are provided for them and therefore don't come directly from in-game rewards.

I made a pretty big edit - do you agree with it? Also, I removed your ideas because they're an answer and not necessarily part of your question. You absolutely can submit your own answer as them or just wait and see how the community responds for direction.

@GalacticCowboy: Yup! I just wanted to make sure answerers were aware that there may be differences and that they need to be familiar with those if they are going to answer. Good question and I hope you and your daughters have a stellar time :)

Non Treasure Rewards
The 5e DMG (Chapter 7) has a substantial section about rewards other than treasure. Examples include Blessings of various kinds, meaningful and magical Charms handed to the characters, very powerful Boons, and (most relevantly) various Marks of Prestige.
Marks of Prestige will probably be your most common rewards.
- Letters of Recommendation, and other personalized introductions, can give the characters easier access to information, immediate resources, emergency aid, and interesting NPCs that the Order is unable to provide, or unable to provide in time.
- Medals are formal acknowledgements of courage and success, that can provide in-story benefits when dealing with NPCs.
- Parcels of Land, Special Rights, and Titles are excellent ways for local governments to reward planet-hopping adventurers; lots of prestige and nominal rewards but little practical cost to the government.
- Strongholds are similar to parcels of land, but expected to be used for military purposes.
- Training is a reward that can grant lots of cool abilities.
Good luck!

The linked section is indeed nowhere in the SRD and not covered by the OGL, so it looks like someone added it illicitly. I'm going to see if I can contact dandwiki about it somehow. Expect the page to be taken down, and links to it to die in the near future, probably.

Use immaterial rewards
If your players can't or won't take "stuff" as a reward, then rewards them for their adventures in other ways. Having a local crime lord owe the players a favor, making prominent connections in a royal court, earning private training in specific skills from a powerful character, or unlocking some hidden potential within the character are all things that could benefit a party without material acquisitions. The 5e DMG (Chapter 7) provides a list of potential rewards for players beyond treasure.

If your players can't or won't take "stuff" as a reward, then rewards them for their adventures in other ways. Having a local crime lord owe the players a favor, making prominent connections in a royal court, earning private training in specific skills from a powerful character, or unlocking some hidden potential within the character are all things that could benefit a party without material acquisitions. The 5e DMG (Chapter 7) provides a list of potential rewards for players beyond treasure.

I edited out your link to dandwiki as that is not a legitimate republication of WoTC material and linked instead to the dndbeyond's DMG.

At the moment, this feel very broad - but that's okay. Would you say that your ultimate goal (which isn't necessarily tied to Star Wars or even 5e) is in how to provide treasure for those not interested in or needing a lot of material possessions?

@NautArch Pretty much exactly that, yes. It's possible that this is also addressed in the older Star Wars RPG books, which I have not read. But the general case is that the characters' equipment and needs are provided for them and therefore don't come directly from in-game rewards.

Are there going to be any non-Jedi characters in the party?

I made a pretty big edit - do you agree with it? Also, I removed your ideas because they're an answer and not necessarily part of your question. You absolutely can submit your own answer as them or just wait and see how the community responds for direction.

@GalacticCowboy: Yup! I just wanted to make sure answerers were aware that there may be differences and that they need to be familiar with those if they are going to answer. Good question and I hope you and your daughters have a stellar time :)
