Returning Stolen Goods through Public Needs

Question

I asked about the laws of theft, and the answer was to give to a nationwide charity organization so that perhaps the heirs might also benefit from it. Which organization, for example?

Answer

Hello,

Ezer Mizion, Taharat HaMishpacha, and similar organizations.

Our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Amram Fried, shlita, recommends a charity fund that uses the stolen money for the victim, and until it is clarified who they are, the money is used for loans and accumulates merits for them.
