Don't trust 90% of the "charities."
All those "administrative" costs. Big buildings, huge salaries and limos don't come cheap.
One of the biggest scams they run, is when "charities" donate to other "charities". One gets a donation, takes out a big chunk for "administrative" costs, then "donates" some of the money to another one, "administrative" costs, they then donate to the Clinton Foundation.
Get rid of the UN and WHO. But use the money directly, to hospitals or the military, or make sure every cent is accountable and if a charity gets out of line they are shut down.
It's insane how doing charity has become almost impossible these days. Charities are often full of cronies who pocket a large percentage of money or there's a chance that the money goes to some cause that you didn't sign up for. Then there's helping the poor and homeless where giving some money to a person on the street either goes to some scammer or someone who's going to just buy drugs with it.

Samaritan's Purse is a great one though. They actually DO the things that they say they do. I can't speak for Red Cross but Samaritans Purse is great.
I'm sitting in northwestern South Carolina right now working 14 hour days cleaning up damage after tornadoes came through and there are Samaritans Purse folks all over the place helping out
Generally I give to charities that GiveWell recommends, because they're trying to maximize human life improved per dollar.
This conflicts with AMERICA FIRST because the cheapest lives to improve are often in developing countries.
That said, GiveDirectly (which aims to route cash to poor people as cheaply as possible) has a campaign to give money to Americans affected by the Wuhan coronavirus. They also have a campaign to pass along your Trump Check, if you don't need it.
(Anyone notice that the bugmen call the Trump Checks problematic, but Obamacare was totally fine?)
Well, of course they do.
Orange Man Bad, Black Man Perfect.
Their programmers told them that the checks would be delayed to put the President's name on them, so that's the reality they're choosing, facts be damned.
