How to navigate family foundation disagreements about effective giving

Our family foundation has been funding the same organizations for twenty years and my siblings want to keep supporting what 'feels right' while I've been reading about effective altruism and think we're wasting money that could save more lives elsewhere, but I can't figure out how to bring this up without sounding like I'm attacking everything our parents built.

More people experience this than they realize.
