Just saying its hardly a charity. A couple of cents to the charity. There are companies and corporations who donate even more to charity than those who claim to be charities. They are corporations not charities. You can keep donating your dollars to massive corporations who pass on cents on the dollar if that alone is good enough for you but imho its lazy and doesn't consider the reality of the situation. You get your tax write offs and you get to sleep at night believing yourself to be a philanthropist. You'd be better sticking your donation in an envelope and sending direct to random addresses in Africa or anywhere. If you donate $200 to charity and only 2-5 dollars makes it to the charity are you still donating to a charity? I don't think you are. You are donating to massive corporations who are often engaged in horrible practices against those they are supposed to help. Like the UN staff withholding food for sex in Haiti. Its not the exception but the rule unfortunately. So we are inadvertently funding the exploitation of these people most in need.

If you want too feel good by helping people in need, doing it through charities or churches is the wrong way to go as you explained.
