I don't dislike this direction, Sean, but a "social facility" doesn't to me necessarily imply charity. It implies non-commercial, but it could be something run by the council. There are useful distinctions to be made between charity and the state!

I'd prefer charity=shop and shop={books|second_hand|clothes|music}. That seems to me easy to remember, to type, and to parse.

Not sure about a donation tag. If it is understood that the value of the shop key generally represents the type of thing that customers can purchase, then it seems nice 'n' symmetrical to set up a key for how the shop is supplied. Maybe supplier=donation or supplier=charity. Then the donation key could denote how & when to make donations.
