I'd say most charities have had to "professionalise" over the last 10-15 years, as government funding and funding in general becomes more of a challenge, However, I do still think the vast majority of charities are there to do charitable work.

There are of course a few who are basically tax dodges, and some that may prioritise spending differently to how you'd expect, but at the end of the day if you're generating profits for shareholders, you're not a charity.
