If you have an attorney you have a close relationship/friendship with, they can give money on your behalf anonymously. You could also do this via an attorney who you only have a professional relationship with, but they may charge you.
I have given money this way on a small scale. That said, the only way to effectively give money to people in need on a large scale is via a non-profit whose mission is to do this. You may complain about the overhead, but you will soon run into the limits and downsides of the method you are asking about and will understand why some overhead is needed for doing this effectively at scale.
Also, there is another significant downside - if you do give a gift like this to someone who is not in need (and sometimes even to someone who is), it can cause resentment along the lines of "I can't believe you thought I needed charity."
