What I understand is that the intention to give should be there because you truly want to give, out of compassion and kindness for the receiving party . And after that it should be reflected that ” May all beings including me have the benefits of this merit and attain Nibbana”. 

If someone gives only to expect some benefit in return, that is a stained thought as it doesn’t really involve compassion and kindness, it involves greed. 

Cultivating a mindset of compassion and kindness is Nibbana.

Kammic law will give the giver, that’s bound to happen depending upon the conditions. But it’s all about the mindset.
