I would like to give some money to a charity, £2000 as donation. But I know they want me to help them with new tasks they are involved with. They will pay expenses for travel and training. Is these allowed?

If you’re given something in return

Any benefits you’re given in return for your donation (eg tickets to an event) must be below a certain value.
Donation amount Maximum value of benefit
Up to £100 25% of the donation
£101 - £1,000 £25
£1,001 and over 5% of the donation (up to a maximum of £2,500)
