There are no "qualified" 20% charities. A qualified charity is either a 30% or a 50%. However, if your income is to high the percentage of a donation that you can deduct can be less than 30%. I suggest you read https://20somethingfinance.com/irs-maximum-charitable-donation-limit/ for what I find to be a "Plain Language" explanation of IRS Publication 526 (the gospel on charitable donations.)
I believe the OP is referring to the 20% limitation.
The 20% limitation applies to gifts of capital gain property to non-50% charities (e.g., most family-funded private foundations). This 20% limit is applied after considering the 60%, 50%, and 30% limits (if any) for the tax year.
