That, to me, is too general. I seek something specific.

How is it too general?  It's not like donating to undermine charity is a skill to be learned or a career to be worked.  There's nothing more to it than it's the opposite of whatever the charity does.  It doesn't come up again in the game and it's not part of the criminal career track.  Good people donate to help an a particular group of people, while evil people donate to undo the good works.  I had to smile when you said that deep inside you're not satisfied (because that was just cute the way you wrote it), but I'm really stuck because I don't know what else you need to feel satisfied with what we've been explaining.  What else can we do?  :)

Ah, I'm not looking for things in the Sims 3 in this particular topic. I'm just looking for the specific action called donate(verb) money to undermine(verb) charity in real life. A true/real life example would suffice. Anything I can relate to... as if I wanted to donate to undermine charity... but how am I supposed to do so if I don't even know how to? There are some answers here, like donating to an opposing party(as the word charity doesn't have to be charity) of a party. The only reason I'm not convinced is because there are too many different sorts of answers.

I'd be violating forum rules by diving into politics and giving you a clear example of a heated issue with 2 sides, but that's what you need to think about to wrap your head around the meaning behind undermine. Certain people really believe in cause x (insert heated political hot button issue). There are many charities, and politicians spearheading the movement to advance cause x. On the other side of the fence we have people who would love nothing more than seeing cause x crumble into the sea. There are organizations and politicians involved in "activities" to make things much more difficult for cause x. So, you donate money to these organizations to undermine cause x.
