Peter is right on track. The regs are somewhat vague and lawerly on
this. We have been providing charity flights for kids for the Make a
Wish Foundation for years. Though there is no financial incentive as
in your case. The only local expert in your case is your local Flight
Standards District Office.

It seems that I can't get a straight answer from any local experts,

The local school PTO will be hosting a silent auction with donated
items. We have been asked to donate something.
My wife and I where talking about donating an airiel tour of the school
district. Would it violate any FAR's that anyone can think of if the
school takes money for the flight? I would not be taking money in
anyone's name and all related cost would be paid for by me. As far as
I'm concerned it would be like donating a toaster that I went to the
store and bought. What would be the difference if I went out and paid
for a flight to donate, or just donated my time and the planes time and
expense?
