Is it clear the charity approach is more efficient? My sense is many non-profits prioritize fundraising and have the bloat of executives who's main function is to schmooze donors.

I'm sure there are good nonprofits/charities. And there's definitely inefficient public offices that are mainly interested in politics.

My point is "seems less efficient" is kind of weak ground to be asking others for evidence

You don't have to have a 'sense', you can look up the overhead for some nonprofits to look and see how much is spent on compensation vs giving/redirecting money to their causes vs. ancillary expenses.

It's often much less than the government in terms of overall efficiency.

"Kind of weak" is an understatement. It's flat out wrong and ridiculous to assume that the best course of action for societal well-being is to let billionaires run free. Or that it's "less efficient" to correct the systemic issues that unfairly tilt things in their favor.
