I understand your hesitation on supporting charities and foundations because in the 12 years of existence that we have been, we have seen this "corruption" that you speak of.
There is a lot of red tape and corruption that is explained in the way of "operation costs" yet the amount of money donated is just lost through their pockets.
The Oxfam scandal was a prime example of an organization that grew too big and misused their funds and influence. Hell is paved with good intentions.
Locally when Storm Yolanda hit Tacloban the amount of donations and food our local government received was a lot but everything from housing to food distribution was ineptly done and some funds siphoned off to political pockets for campaign funds and food got spoiled because they wanted to know that the administration was the one that "gave" the food.
Corrupt and inept as it maybe we are still trying to help out people to the best of our ability through charity.
You might want to check @youarehope though it is a Steem based charity organization that has accountability reports.
I completely agree that people should give what they can to charity, I just think that people need to start being more careful about the charity they give to so that less corrupt individuals gain from the charitable cause and we see more individuals who actually use donations to help the chosen cause.
I will give that page a look.
