One does not divert charity from one charitable cause to another

One does not divert charity from one charitable cause to another

Charity funds donated by the public must not be diverted from their original intended purpose to another cause.

(“The sages taught: (One who says:) ‘This sela is for charity’—until it reaches the collector, he may change its use; once it has reached the collector, he may not change its use.” — Arakhin 6a)
