Any organization that gives 80% or more of it’s donations to the actual cause, it claims it’s supporting.
Most charities keep most of the donations and give very little to their actual ‘intended’ cause. Goodwill is a great example, they hardly help anyone.
Susan b comen too, CEO gifts themselves half of the donations. Some people donate to pet shelters in desperate need of financing to keep the lights on, I think a lot of charities are scams or at least money laundering front
As I watched the pepfar drama, I’ve become more sympathetic to the overhead fees of a good charity. How the charity works internally isn’t that relevant, compared to how much good gets done per dollar donated (eg, if $1 feeds 10 people in an area and no other charity can do better, I’m not all that sad if the ceo got 90 cents; they did good work even if they aren’t very charitable as a person).

But yes, there are probably grifts.
