To or for

I know we usually use 'dedicated' followed by 'to', but I am not sure about this sentence.

This money is dedicated 'to or for' employee salaries only.

Which one should be used?

Thanks, CJ.

Reserved for.. sounds much better!

So it is always 'dedicated to', right?

Probably in the sense you're thinking of it, yes, though obviously not always:

Dedicated in 2003, this garden is among several created by David and Villalobos.
The company is looking for a dedicated dispatcher to handle heavy order volume.

Yes, I meant in the sense I was thinking of it, between the inclusion of 'to' or 'for'. Got it.

Also, thanks for the other examples that show how 'dedicated' can be used.
