Charitable giving is giving without receiving. Its purpose is to help people or organizations that need help funding themselves.
The Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund main purpose is to provide other charities and donors programs that will help them make charitable giving simple and easy.
Charitable organizations have no means of income other than what it receives from donations, be it either cash or items it can sell. There is, in some regions, a tax advantage for people who make donations to such charities ... like churches, thrift stores and other not-for-profit agencies.
The purpose of the Donor-Advised Fund was to manage charitable donations on behalf of an individual, family, or business organization. It was created as an alternative to a private foundation.
In a charitable corporation, maximizing wealth may be counter to the organizations primary purpose. Consider Fred Hollows and his eye work in developing countries.

On US income taxes, you are allowed to deduct charitable donations if you itemize deductions. There's a specific line on Schedule A for this that's pretty clearly labelled. If you don't itemize, you aren't allowed to deduct charitable donations. You are never allowed to deduct "giving money" in general... it has to be to a legitimately recognized charitable organization. Giving money to a specific person is not deductible; giving money earmarked for a specific person, even if you're technically giving it to a charitable organization, is also not deductible.
