Which Charities ?
One thing that needs to be sorted out is exactly which charities we are going to actually send money to. In the US , Spirit of America is the most obvious. But should we also plan on making a percentage of funds available for Operation Give? For Chief Wiggles ? For other things? Pizza for the IDF ? I think we need to decide before we start exactly where the money is going to go, and then if we decide to change that in the future, make sure that we tell donors before they donate of the change. But it is for the US participants to decide on which US charities get the money.
I think that money raised in one area should be given to charities associated with that area. So, for example, any money raised in the UK would be spent on an English equivalent of Spirit of America. If we can't find one, then The Royal British Legion would be the default : they take care of crippled and aged servicemen ( we have no equivalent of the VA in the UK ).
Anything that comes in via Spain and Portugal ? I don't know at present. Probably little will , so I doubt it will be a great problem ( although that might change if Iberian Notes and HisperLibertas join in and translate the offer ).
