Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types [1]
Malachi 3:10 (c) We are not to believe that this refers to any local church, for it does not. Israel had only one center of worship, at the temple. The reference evidently is to the Church of GOD in all its wideness and fullness. We are to invest in GOD's work and GOD's business wherever we see the need. We are to place our funds where they will be used for the salvation of souls, and the upbuilding of the saints. This does not need to be only in our own denomination. Of course, the first obligation we should fulfill is to the local work with which we are identified. There is no Scripture at all, nor suggestion, that all the money which is given by GOD's people should be put into one basket to be spent by others.
Webster's Dictionary [2]
(1): (n.) A mass or quality laid up.
(2): (n.) A building for keeping goods of any kind, especially provisions; a magazine; a repository; a warehouse.

(אוֹצָר, otsar, 1 Chronicles 27:25; Psalms 33:7; Malachi 3:10, a treasury, as elsewhere usually rendered; אֲסָם, asam, a receptacle for provisions, Deuteronomy 28:8; "barn," Proverbs 3:10; the modern matmurat, usually underground in the East; מִאֲבוּס, maabus, Jeremiah 1:26, a granary; מַסְבְּנָה, miskenah, a magazine, Exodus 1:11; 2 Kings 32:28; elsewhere "store city; " ταμεῖον, Luke 12:24; Ecclesiastes 29:12, elsewhere "closet"). According to Genesis 41:48-49, Joseph built storehouses in Egypt, in which he laid up the superabundance of corn against the years of dearth. From the monuments we learn that such storehouses were common. The form of one of those ancient granaries is exhibited in a painting of the tomb of Rotei at Beni-Hassan. It consists of a double range of structures resembling ovens, built of brick, with an opening at the top and a shutter in the side. A flight of stairs gives access to the top of these receptacles, into which the grain, measured and noted, is poured till they are full. The mode of emptying them was to open the shutter in the side. (See Granary).
