It would be really simple for genuine philanthropy to be proven and demonstrated. That could be assessed and tax credits issued. It would cut out the personal profiteering that is rife in churches, and separate the faithful from the faithless.
I remember when I sought some support for dealing with a very rebellious teen who was indulging in dangerous self destructive behaviour. A church group arrived, well known for that kind of work - not the Sallies. I was then harangued and remonstrated with because I had an illegitmate daughter, and the situation was my punishment in their view.
Funny how such attitudes can turn folk against some groups.
