Do you think the "headquarters" of your churches have too much money, and what would you like them do with some of it?

Yes, I am. My church has an unpaid lay clergy. We have a welfare system. We do not have any debts. All our buildings are paid for.

There is no "headquarters" to my "church", seeing as I am the church, according to the Bible. The Bible says the physical bodies of saved believers is the church, not any organization or building.
And Jesus is the Head of the believers.
I respect no organization, denomination, or building that calls itself a "church". I am the church, along with all other saved believers.

Give it to the orphans and widows. That's the true definition of religion that is pleasing to God.
Book of James.
We're too caught up in traditions, routines, feeling superior to people who don't think like us.
The lifeboat game sucks (all of us sitting around trying to convince everyone else that we're smart enough to prevent everyone from wanting to throw us overboard), and our church plays it too much.
Jesus didn't come to earth to play that game.

pay it to the abuse victims instead of trying to declare bankruptcy.
