Charity is a good deed, and seeking ease in affairs through it is a permissible form of intercession (tawassul) by righteous deeds, as stated in the verse from Al Imran and in the of the three men trapped in the cave.

As for performing it without believing it to be a Sunnah or obliging people to do it, there is no harm in that.
