The funds were allocated to various organizations. Allocated means

Donation implies a voluntary act of giving without expecting anything in return. Although allocating funds can involve giving to others, it is more about efficiently distributing available resources according to a plan or purpose, rather than simply giving them away. Therefore, donated is not the correct interpretation of allocated in this context.

Promising involves committing to do something in the future. Allocated, however, indicates that the distribution or assignment of resources has already taken place. It doesn't imply a future action or a commitment; it refers to an action that has already been decided or executed.

Conveying typically refers to communicating or making something known. While allocating funds could involve communicating decisions about distribution, the term allocated itself does not primarily mean to communicate or convey. It specifically refers to the action of distributing or assigning resources.
