likely than you think, and at least then our (the donor's) intervention
would be for good causes, and not to promote someone's election.

I think this would be a very bad thing for the Red Cross to do. The Red
Cross gets a lot of respect because it remains neutral in conflicts.
That doesn't mean that other organizations wouldn't do well to do this.
Of course current US poilicy would really frown on this, especially if
it thinks the organization is a terrorist organization.
