I have just a basic account on IJ, and I'd rather save my money for donating, so I can't create a poll myself.
I've been thinking about what you said about international charities. All of the four I originally listed are through donorschoose.org, which is an American charity (at least for now). It has a very cool premise, which is that school teachers post what they want, the charity authenticates that they come from an impoverished school and figures out how much it will cost to get the teacher what they want. Donors choose a particular teacher's request from their website, and when enough donors have chosen a particular project, the charity buys the stuff the teacher wants and gives it to the teacher. Then the teacher is expected to write a thank you note and, if possible, get their students to also write thank you notes, and these notes are sent to the donors.
I picked four projects that supported literacy, since that's something that's important to me. OTOH, health is also very important to me, and I don't feel strongly between any of these charities, so it'd be great if the Lupin_Snape community choose.
Lore, if you would be willing to put together a poll with the following options:
* What's the point of reading if our writers can't think? Spend the money to support Alzheimer's research at Match It For Pratchett
* Other. Please leave what other charity you'd recommend in the comments.
The other question is if the charity should be in honor of "Family Fest in a Harry Potter fan fiction Community" or in honor of "Family Fest in a Lupin/Snape Harry Potter fan fiction Community".
