Interesting dilemma. Technically, you are not allowed to attach strings to deductible charitable gifts. However, you assume the charity will use it according to its guiding principles and not in some way contrary to that. Of course, we see these kinds of problems a lot over time, such as with foundations originally funded in support of capitalistic principles using their money to support leftist causes (Ford Foundation, et al).
