Whatever charity you become interested in, go to www.guidestar.org. There, after a free registration, you can review information on the charity (actually any nonprofit including AOPA) and download its tax returns. The tax returns of a nonprofit include quite a bit of information on what people are getting paid as well as a complete income statement and balance sheet.
There is a premium guidestar.org membership that gives you access to additional information for evaluating the charity. I have never bought it so don't know much more than that.
Your state may also have some type of charity review body that qualifies charities based on things like the % of income spent on overhead, % of income spent on fundraising, etc. These are good things to look for. There are professional fundraising businesses that end up taking 50% or more of the income from charities they are associated with. Essentially the "charity" is a sham that allows the fundraiser to make money.

Why not find a large flight school that ain't going anywhere and set up a scholarship program with them, if these are the fruits from you're life's work, I'd want to be more hands on than just having a 2 bit lawyer mail a check to the funds dept.
Most charities and non-profits are very profitable, and no where I would want to waste my money, more ends up going tom"administration" than the end user.

I've had some fabulous camel in Doha. Maybe preparation matters...
