If "preventing poverty" is a legitimate charitable purpose, then there's nothing fraudulent about the "charity" in my example.
The point is, "alleviating poverty" is a legitimate charitable purpose. "Preventing poverty" can be construed far too broadly and would accomodate things which are certainly not charitable. I would speculate that in most cases, any real charity that said it was "preventing poverty" could be easily reconstrued as a charity "alleviating poverty" without changing what they do.
