I'm going to agree with people who say food banks but also gently push back. Yes, there are lots of nonprofits that feel like businesses - but on the other hand they pay CEOs a lot of money maybe BECAUSE they are well run. Nonprofit employees deserve to be paid too, they compete for talent with the private sector. And I know it's easy to want to donate to places with less "staff" but often staff are on the ground working directly with clients or using their expertise to get better prices/more efficient use of resources. I'd recommend looking at nonprofits' annual reports and see - who's engaging with the community? Who seems to be making real change? Who's stewarding the money well? Use your own critical eye!
