Need an iTunes for Charity Information Infrastructure

The United States needs a national information infrastructure—an 'iTunes for charity'—providing user-friendly, regularly updated, objectively gathered narrative, financial, and impact information on every organization; it would be expensive to build but cheap relative to the $300 billion given annually, and in its absence donors must research causes personally rather than rely on overhead ratios.
