Is it valid to intend an ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah) when giving money to an organization, or must this be specified at the time it is taken out of the savings box?

Ongoing charity ( Jariyah) is an endowment (waqf). It is sufficient to make the intention when handing the money to the agent, and your intention is not required when placing the money in a savings box.
