Provided that the recipient of the fundraising is clear, why is it inappropriate?

You claim that money to benefit a school is inappropriate. Are you able to clarify why?

I dunno - I think it'd still be inappropriate even if it was Habitat for Humanity. You're basically putting your subordinates in a position of judging whether it's worth it to just give the money instead of possibly putting them on the bad side of their superior. Because there's definitely the possibility that they don't want to give to charity, but would be afraid to say no in case that decision will negatively impact them in reviews/raises/etc.

@GregoryCurrie I already did. Donating to his own kids’ school is a direct benefit to him and his family.
