Contribution from party people (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

donation

'contribution' is the definition.
(I know that contribution can be written as donation)

'party people' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'people' becomes 'nation'.
'do'+'nation'='DONATION'

'from' acts as a link.

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

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
