I wonder if your donation did not go into a general account, which would then be used for pretty much anything.
I say this from experience. I work at a cancer institute. Volunteered to organize a charity fund raiser for the institute, raising about $50,000, only to find out after the fact all the money went into a general account used to pay for everything from building maintenance, security, utilities, admin etc. I don't think a penny went directly to research or cancer patients.
