And yet, it's still OK to say, "I would donate to this charity or organization if its executive compensation does not exceed a certain amount, otherwise I don't think my money is being used appropriately."

Also, when people donate lots of money to an organization, either as a personal grant or by bundling a bunch of donations they collect, they quite often do stipulate how it will be spent. If someone wanted to organize a drive for MDN, they would be justified in saying they want the money to appear as additional funds for MDN.
