Your demonination probably sent the money for the same reason that religions send money/people/resources anywhere: to spread influence. To assume that such an act is entirely selfless is misleading. Past actions are relevant because they often determine the course of organized religions; it wasn't a mistake that the Catholic Church tacitly sided with the Nazis in WWII anymore than all religions continue to assert us vs. them throughout the world.

If you walk into a church or allow a Mormon into your house, the purpose is not for debate, it's for conversion. Faith, in this broad instance, cannot be reconciled with logic. Ironically, logic has done far more to combat Man's supposed "baser nature" (more likely the result of opportunity than anything innate) than faith.

P.S.
No religion has a monopoly on ethics or morals.
