Definately the latter. Remember, to the general public he's a philanthropic businessman. Giving to charities in areas he controls serves the dual purpose of reducing suspicion on his own part, and placcating any witnesses that live on his turf. Picture this situation: You live in a part of the city prone to gane violence, right? And one gang leader does a lot of robbery, another has a penchant for burning things, another likes to make homeowners pay him so he and his men don't kill them.

You happen to live where Allen controlls the underground activity. And all you gotta worry about is the occasional visit from a Capriotto Arms salesman (who happens to be an actual door-to-door weapons dealer because RWBY-verse) and making sure you get to your law-abiding job at a Capriotto owned factory on time. From you point of view, who cares if this guy has a few shady connections? He'd NEED them to get a neighborhood this pleasant,and scare off the miscreants!
