Acceptable?

I live in a 98% catholic area, but am not catholic.Recently some locals began going from door to door collecting for a community project,but did not go to my door.A catholic neighbour asked what all they were fundraising for and was told that some of the money raised was going to the catholic church, not the local children's park which all the money was meant to be for.Most people who gave money were not told this.She was disgusted as there are others in the community whom are not catholic.However, why it was wrong not to inform people about this, most of the community is catholic.Do you think this was acceptable?And why/why not?
