{UAH} Donald Trump Foundation's largest donation was for refurbishment of a fountain outside one of his own hotels

The biggest ever donation made by Donald Trump's charitable foundation was reportedly a $264,631 gift paid for the refurbishment of a New York fountain outside one of the billionaire businessman's own hotels amid claims he hasn't donated any money to the charity since 2008.

The fee, which is thought to be the largest ever paid by the Donald J. Trump Foundation in its 29-year history, was used to renovate the monument outside the Plaza Hotel on the edge of Central Park, New York, according to the Washington Post.

The donation was made in 1989 to restore the Pulitzer Fountain, which stands outside the front doors of one of Mr Trump's flagship hotels – meaning such a 'charitable donation' would likely have benefited his own business.

Analysis also appears to reveal the Trump Foundation has received twice as much in funding from other donors as it has from Mr Trump.

Tax records seen by the Post reportedly show the Foundation has benefitted from $5.5 million of donations made by the Republican candidate since it was founded in 1987, compared with $9.3 million from other donors, including world wrestling executive Vince McMahon. Mr Trump has not donated to his foundation since 2008, the records appear to show.
