Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: With the money for fitrana, can you put it in any charity box or give it to any charity? Is it only for wheat or what? Please explain how to give it to a charity (not giving it yourself, but paying for it in cash to be distributed); I hope I am understood.

Bismillaah

A: You have to give it to some deserving person.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
