That term has always bothered me too.  You can give without expecting a gift in return.  But for most, the act of helping makes one feel proud of being able to make things better.  That in itself is the reward.  This is a good thing - but why can't we call it humanitarianism, and get rid of that "selfless" ridiculousness?
