Tax goes to a single government spending fund, but I want this to be separate

Then it's still a tax, just a tax going to a different fund.

Someone can put a gun to your head and force you to donate to charity, and that's still a donation.

In that case, the person holding a gun to your head stole your money and then they effectively donated it to charity.
