I suspect there are some tax issues there? In the US employer donation matching is common, and my previous employer gave all of its employees a sum they could choose where to donate, so that is presumably also fine. I’m less sure you can do what you’re proposing, however, without it counting as income.
The bit that I would expect to be tricky is trying to let employees choose how much of their pay they receive through this kind of “choose where we donate money”. If you’re just trying to let every employee direct a certain amount of funding, that’s already fine.
If the employer set aside the funds in a donation pot which you had no/minimal control over that’d probably be more likey to be legal. (Eg if staff voted where the funds should go)
Another possibility could be asking your employer to set aside some of your pay in a fund you can direct. (I intend to make a post on this soon.)

Can you do 100x donation matching? Then the deadweight loss is minimal in comparison.

Yes that was a concern. Will talk this point over with people before I post this
