How should a certain fund be spent? Is it determined by how best it will be used? Does it depend on the decision of the one holding it? It would not be wise to immediately spend it no matter how good is the purpose. There is a need to know the history of the fund. Why was it generated? What was the intention of the donor? The intention of the donor takes priority. There maybe more noble intentions other than the original, but, morality requires to respect, above all else, the intention. It is really hard to find an exception to this. Maybe, when one is endangered of falling to sin or committing an evil, it may prudently and carefully be utilized even for the time being. In any case, it is always safe to first determine the intention before it would be used.
