Giving party attended by group of people (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

donation

'giving' is the definition.
(donation is a kind of giving)

'party attended by group of people' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'attended by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'group of people' becomes 'nation'.
'do'+'nation'='DONATION'

(Other definitions for donation that I've seen before include "present" , "An offering or charitable gift" , "Gift or contribution" , "presentation" , "Do anoint by way of a gift" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
