I found the details you provided helpful in shaping my understanding and opinion on this issue. Thank you for taking the time to write them out.

My personal bias had previously been shaped by the example of the the Susan G Komen for the Cure scandal. In my recollection they were hardly donating any of the funds raised. Perhaps I am mis-remembering at this point.

Distributing food and clothes is much easier to do and measure than "cure cancer" so I'm not sure why I thought the outcomes would be similar.

If there's a cause you're interested in supporting, you can show up to volunteer or even just a volunteer training. I learnt about how the ACCFB operates at my volunteer training and it was not what I expected.
