Can a Private Pilot transport people for an organization or for
"volunteer" purposes.
Examples: Red Cross, transporting people for medical services (cancer
patients) etc.?

I've wondered about being able to volunteer services for organizations.

Would they be able to "split costs" at all?
Or is it for transport only?

This also provides for so-called "charitable airlift" where people make a
donation to, say, go for a ride in a plane, assuming a bunch of conditions
are met. Also allows reimbursement of full (as opposed to proportional)
expenses if involved in SAR activites, which I assume is there to allow CAP
to operate as it does.
