government institution/national treasure/religion/cult.
it's kinda like Americans donate money to schools, despite the fact that they are supposed to be properly funded by the government. The NHS is basically on the brink of collapse at the best of times both due to chronic underfunding and chronic inefficiency.
Also i realize it's not at all uncommon for Americans to donate to hospitals either.
