Job application quick question!?

The question on the app is this: ''Please list any special skills, honors, achievements, memberships, activities, positions of leadership (school, civic, community, special interest group) excluding any organizations, the name of or character of which may reveal race, disability, religion or national origin of its members)''

I just don't fully understand the "excluding organizations" part. For example, would an organization named "Not Just Another Cancer Fundraiser" that I volunteered for be off limits to put down?

Thanks for any and all answers :)

    this is a bit of a two part question that company's are asking you.. they want you involved outside of work, it makes you look 'well rounded' BUT they also don't want you to be doing too much outside of work that will make you less available to them.

    in most cases you can leave this blank.. other than special skills. like 'work well with others, fast learner.." or any system that they use that you already know how to use.. the rest you can leave blank and it won't look bad
