Can you provide evidence that this charity is recognized as legit and that all proceeds do in fact go towards real help and not in the pockets of their administration? (Since I failed to find them on Give.org and the BBB listing of any charity based in NY)
Other than the founder and main instigator Scott Harrison is a personal friend? No.
Other than the board of directors (Giancarlo Ochoa and Brant Cryder et al) are all personal friends who donate their time? No.

Scott doesn't make a lot of money.
He left high-paying Manhattan marketing jobs after he realised he was wasting his life hedonisticly.
He spends most of his time working with the mercy ships:
