Is it permissible for the secretary of the fundraising committee in the neighborhood mosque, who owns a private car, to take payment from the endowment fund for transporting building materials with his private car, knowing that if his car is not used, a public car will be rented for the same purpose?
The man is an agent for the donors, and an agent is not permitted to sell or rent to himself, unless with the explicit permission of the principal. However, if permission is obtained, whether explicitly stated or عرفًا (by custom/convention), then there is no objection.
