You never have a guarantee that it goes to the person who needs it. Sometimes expenses outstrips the donations.
the problem is that is whats happening, most giving these days are not going to who its intended for. charities are hiring outside help during major fund raising events and a good majority of the funds raised goes to the pockets of rhe fund raising company, not the charity. Until laws are changed, you will get jerks like that guy who overcharges for his fund raising. What he did may not be illegal but it is unethical.
Red Cross, United Ways and others have gotten into trouble over the years because of this practice.
