In Elite: Dangerous, some factions are offering donation missions, that offer a reputation increase. Should I take these missions and donate the money, or are they worthless?

Donation missions, as you may have noticed, vary from value, anywhere from 25,000 credits all the way up to 300,000 credits or more. In general, try to avoid the high-cost donation missions, and definitely take the 25,000 credit donation missions when they're available.

Keep in mind that the donation only increases your reputation with the faction and/or superpower that the mission is associated with. If you don't need to raise your reputation with a faction, then don't waste your money. However, if you're purposely trying to increase your reputation with a faction, then the donation missions provide an easy mechanism for you to do so, without having to perform complex mission tasks.

    They're also useful if you're specifically looking for good missions from that faction. You can go from Neutral to Cordial easily with a few donations and then get some better paying missions from them.
