That's why, imo, directly help the people who need it.

For example, our local area has a thing called "Real Change," and the money goes directly to the people who need it. I read it online, so I just give them cash instead.

If you know someone that needs $10 (or whatever you can afford) here and there to survive, give it to them right out. I'd much rather see communities helping people directly than the CEO money grabbing charities get the money. Also, fuck goodwill.
