Can donations be egoistic? Wanting to improve others lives will lead to a better world also for me, even if that's one dime a time.

You are right. I haven't thought about donations possibly not being altruistic, but there actually are such ones. Personally I would say we need separate words to distinguish egoistic charity/donations from the altruistic ones.
But how does donating to some poor people abroad benefits you?
