Hi,
It is good to create umbrella tzedakah organizations, staffed by people who will honour the expectations of halachah in their work. Classically, Jewish communities did this with a kupah shel tzedakah. However, this is meant to aid the needy, not to hinder them, and therefore a community may not prevent needy people and institutions from engaging in their own collections, visiting the individual members of the community for aid.
(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Yoreh Deah 1:149)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
