They don't want cures.

I can't speak to corporate charities. I'm 100% sure Twisted is more educated than me on that.
My recommendation for charity is to buy local.
In college my fraternity did a fundraiser for a local battered women's shelter. We didn't raise a ton of money, I wanna say it was in the neighborhood of $4,000. So we did a dinner where we invited some faculty for some good PR. The gal from the shelter came and legit started crying about how much the money means to the shelter.
15 years ago, and it obviously makes an impact on my dumb ass.
Typically if you're worried about it, on a local one you can poke around and figure out what they're doing.
If you're feeling the need, I'd definitely recommend to shop local on charities.
