Yes, that sounds plausible.* If one didnāt like this possible consequence, restrictions on eligible charities (e.g. to require non-locality) could change that.
*Though itās curious that most interest in politics is at a national rather than local level, by contrast.
Information that makes me lean toward āmost giving is localā:
In 2017, roughly 31% of all American donations went to religious institutions, and Iād guess that almost all of that money was for local churches and missions. Only 6% of giving was international.
More than half of all animal-related giving goes to animal shelters (again, I assume these are mostly local shelters).
Many popular giving categories are almost exclusively local: Community centers, food banks, museums, charity hospitals...
