If it's usage based, how would there be any usage at the beginning of the first period?
Usage based bills at the end of the month because customer accumulates usage throughout month

I was thinking if there might be some workaround, like using a subscription schedule to avoid that $0 invoice. Is something like that not possible either?

I'm confused. What's your use-case? You said However, I need to figure out how to charge immediately instead of waiting until the next billing cycle. This doesn't sound like usage based billing at all. How would there be any usage immediately?
Like how would there be any usage to charge for at that point?

My use case is that a customer subscribes to monthly donations for various organizations. They choose, for example, 3 organizations and allocate 25% to the first, 25% to the second, and 50% to the third. I tried to set up this pricing model and set the record to $0.01, or 1 cent, because the customer selects how much they want to donate. This approach was intended to avoid creating a new price for each subscription under the product and to have only one price on Stripe, to which I pass the total amount donated to each organization.
Product = Organization.

Hm ok. And can these percentages change at any time? Also, can the donation amount change at any time?

Ok I recommend just doing inline pricing then: https://docs.stripe.com/products-prices/pricing-models#inline-pricing
This will bill at beginning of month like you want
And allows you to specify the exact amount per item

I will try this. TYVM

No problem
