"Unfortunately restricted donations tend to generate more publicity than unrestricted ones. "X donates money to build a school in Africa" is not only more interesting than "X donates money to Y nonprofit to spend as Y chooses," but also focuses more attention on X."

Seems like you could arrange the donation, get the charity to tell you what it would be for, and then use that as the announcement. You might get less attention getting descriptions, but I feel like it would still be net-moral to get a little creative with how you described it.
