Someone is going to handle it for the yeshivah. After all, the walls of the 
batei midrash are not known to take a check and walk it to the bank. Instead, 
a gizbar does the work. Thus, AFAICT, the point is once more moot.

But again, it is a nice theoretical discussion about the nature of *giving* 
tzedaqah.
