No, donating money of your own, while very nice, wouldn’t help with college apps, since it just shows that you have the money to donate (in the same way that expensive summer programs in general don’t help applicants, since it just shows they have the money to do them). However, raising the money definitely helps, since it shows leadership, initiative, drive, etc.
