Plot twist: the donation is from the owner of the company doing the infra project with the intention to launder money.

How would that be successful money laundering?

Money Laundering is really good with cash only businesses because you can just pretend you had 1000 more customers than you actually did.

But this money is going towards a high profile public works project with fixed outcomes. You might get ~5% of the money back clean, assuming the government is corrupt enough. Not to mention that its highly unlikely the government doesnt know who donated it. So theres really no "clean" money, its documented somewhere if investigators go looking.

The donator would be better off laundering through a car wash or corner store.

The "everything i dont understand is money laundering" crowd baffles me sometimes.

1) I never bought/sold gold, but AFAIK, that doesn't need to be laundered.

2) Even if the company receives the money, they must still do the work. Only the profit minus taxes is recovered from the total donated value.

The real twist about this is that reddit.com has seemingly breached containment, and it is dragging down the writing quality in this thread.
