The profits of Prince Charles's organic farm go to charities

The profits of Prince Charles's organic farm go to charities to help the poor and the sick.

Hi,
For a start, is the "s" at the end of "Charles'" optional or must it be deleted?
Second, is it correct to interpret "go to" in the base sentence as "are given to?" Thanks.
