I say this from experience. I work at a cancer institute. Volunteered to organize a charity fund raiser for the institute, raising about $50,000, only to find out after the fact all the money went into a general account used to pay for everything from building maintenance, security, utilities, admin etc. I don't think a penny went directly to research or cancer patients.

What does that matter? If I were donating I would rather have someone knowledgeable about running a cancer institute allocate my money than do it myself.
Would you rather that each person who donates decides exactly what his money will be spent on? I don't see how that would be anything but extremely inefficient.
