The is no way. However, fast offering donations do not remain in the ward they are donated in. They are swept into a general fund at CHQ and bishops can draw on that general fund regardless of the amount donated in their own unit. So really it doesn't matter what unit a fast offering donation is made in.

You don't.

All Fast Offering donations are automatically swept to Church Headquarters. Any local needs are automatically re-reimbursed from CHQ. Donating to a specific ward doesn't increase the amount of funds that bishop has available. The only thing that counts is that the donation is made.

You may want to read this thread from 5 years ago.

In addition, the new handbook says (34.4.2):
Members should contribute fast offerings without designating how the funds should be used. Bishops may not enter into arrangements or make commitments to give a member’s fast-offering contribution to an individual or family or to use it for a special purpose that the donor designates.
