if after doing your damnedest to discourage others from giving, you had considered the following (and subsequently expanded your post beyond the "dead-end" content that you did post):

If at first you don't succeed in finding a charity that fully measures up to your expectations, try, try again.

Other options:

Note, as stated in the linked article, that "at this point in time it is not certain that all these organizations will spend 100% of donations received on Hurricane Harvey relief."

And don't overlook the inclusion in the body of the article of several highly rated (3 or 4 stars) local organizations (two food banks and three animal welfare types), including Houston Food Bank which received a 4-star rating and 100.0 score from Charity Navigator. Compensation listed for HFB's President & CEO: $248,396 (0.13% of expenses).
