I don't think earmarked contributions are allowed, at least not
something earmarked to a specific task or piece of work (as opposed to
something generic like "use these funds for advocacy").  If they were
allowed, a company could effectively use an earmarked contribution as a
way of hiring a contractor to write code, while writing off the money
paid to her as a charitable contribution to the foundation.
