The answer

If a donor designates their money for a specific entity, this designation must be adhered to. If the designated recipient becomes self-sufficient, the money should be returned to its owners if they are known. They can then donate it to someone in need. If the owners are not known, or if it is impossible to obtain their permission or return the money to them, it should be spent on a purpose similar to the one originally designated. If no such purpose exists, or if a more pressing need is found, the money should be directed to that need.
