I love the obvious sham charities that get huge local political support. I had to go to a huge fundraiser for a "charity" that supposedly gives housing and other support to women who say they would get an abortion if they didn't have a free room and board, pre-natal paid for, etc. They had been around a while and helped a grand total of one woman. At the fundraiser they werer hyping a plan to build a facility to house several women (maybe up to 8, IIRC). The hope was to raise something like $1.5 million. From the look of things, that night they raised at least $25k, maybe a bunch more. I wrote "LOL, NOPE" on the pledge card and turned it in without any ID info on it.
I haven't followed up, but considering this was a year before Hobbs, I bet the founder folded the charity and pocketed the money.
If you go to Chamber of Commerce events in Montgomery County, especially The Woodlands or Conroe, you will meet several founders of charities like this. MoCo is lousy with this nonsense.
