As most have been told here the funds in the treasury are real money earmarked for charity. now I could be a real ignoramus and just choose a charity with no regard to democracy or how others wish to see their money delegated but that hardly seems fair. so instead  I will toss out the names of Charities that came out in the weekly meeting and let you also add names of charities and then we will have a series of votes via poll to choose one Charity to donate the treasury funds to.
International Red Cross
Feed America

legitimate charities that support Autism 
Wounded Warrior Project
challenged Athletes
Feel free to toss in your I deas as we will vote until One has the most votes.

I dislike organized 'Big Name' charities for many reasons that I shall not write about in this thread, except this:  Most charities, at least in America are redundant.  With the explosion of welfare rolls, and every problem is addressed by private and public services already.  The problem is the cost of the management of those programs that makes it seem that they always need more money to help a very select few in need.  Donations should go directly to those in need, not the overhead costs of paying executives to make those choices of where the small percentage of the money eventually will be spent.
  Charity begins at home.

So I would like to suggest a local (Bebe's City)  women's and children's,domestic abuse shelter.  I request this because of my own local shelter, called 'The Haven'.  It is a wonderful story of a charity, all done by the community, for the community.  Take one abandoned hotel that was donated, and they used local labor from several different church groups, to repair and fix and secure the grounds.  Now the sign outside doesn't offer room rates for a night.  Now it reads the needs of the residents. Diapers, cleaning supplies, clothes, baby formula, ect.  This sort of charity does much more work with the donations of cash and goods than any big name charity ever could.

I also have many family members currently in the military and my husband is a veteran. They all need our help, not even for physical wounds, but mental as well. Just my two cents, and not all of the charities mentioned above are bogus.

Had trouble adding to my post lol, it's been a while. So I guess what was deleted is that I fully support money going to charities like Wound Warriors Project, it's a great charity that helps out many families affected by current and previous wars.

Feed America sounds good. Food banks are such a ridiculously important thing that people often forget about. I've volunteered for a UK one before and done food drives. Members of the public are often in shock when they realise it's actually a pretty crucial part of keeping the country going, and it's only getting worse. Food banks need all the help they get, because they're run purely on donations and volunteers - the government do absolutely nothing to help them!

DO NOT EVER GIVE MONEY TO AUTISM SPEAKS!!!!
Coming from someone who is autistic - DO NOT SUPPORT THEM.

They've literally been the cause of MANY deaths of autistic kids and do not support people who have autism. They have openly supported a mother who drowned her own children because they had autism because she had 'such a hard life' dealing with the pressure of having autistic children. They support electrocuting kids every time they have a tick or speak out of turn, to prevent them from having typical autistic responses to life in general - including ones that don't do any harm; like not looking directly into someone's eyes when speaking to them.

Please remove them from the list and do not give them any money.

there are millions of other sites explaining why autism speaks is a horrible group - so please do not support them.
Some of those links have alternative autism charities you could support instead!
note: Nothing accusatory here about not knowing - just the thought of autism speaks makes me panic a whole lot, not had any good run-ins with them.

http://greatnonprofits.org/ Is a helpful site by the way that has numerous charities listed on the site with reviews on how the charities work, handle things and respond to people written by people and not by the charity themselves. It might be good to look up any charity ideas before donating to them on here so we can get a good idea on who we are donating to!

Thanks Remi, I have 2 grandsons with Autism.........but the reason for this post is so everyone can add genuine charities to be considered . the local shelters in my area pocket the money and it does not go on the needy. hence no recommendation from me on them

Trimmed my post above so the link with the three alternative charities is the only one there.
I know that's what this post is for, that's why I'd really appreciate removing Autism Speaks from the list?? I don't see how your grandsons add relevance to the fact that autism speaks is literally the worst and it would be a mistake for any money to go towards them?
The way you put that makes it sound like you don't think it should be removed or that my warning about the charity isn't relevant?
Like I could be misinterpreting what you mean though.
