Amnesty International (tho I really don't like their fundraising tactics) and Doctors Without Borders don't send money to sociopath's accounts. They pay for housing for board certified medical doctors who decided to make $0 and heal people while being bombed on.

I also like Animals Asia which saves bears from captivity and sends me cute videos of the bears swinging on the swing I donated to them!

If you have low confidence in large orgs, donate directly to small orgs near you like a little league team in a rough part of town.

I don’t know their specific economics but typically the money-into-sociopaths funnel isn’t through the charity program itself, but through the administration. Eg 30% of funds goes to admins, 30% to marketing and fundraising, 20% to overhead, 20% to the actual stated program kind of thing
