The Easter Orthodox do not set a tithe that all followers must adhere to, but a tithe is asked of them. It is assumed that you will give as much as you are able with your personal situation.
The average amount of church tithe given in America varies widely depending on individual income levels and religious beliefs. However, studies have shown that the average amount of tithe given ranges from 2-10% of a person's income.
As tithe is not a person, you can only give it to god or the church.
Generally speaking, tithing is done on a voluntary basis. Each person tithes according to what they think is appropriate. There is no specific amount (such as 10%) that is required. It also depends on what each person can afford.

A tithe is a gift of money that a church-goer would give to help with the public services that a church provides, sometimes the tithe can be used for repairs to the church. Whether it be feeding the needy, housing the homeless or presents for patients.
The church played a major role during this time. The church controlled all of the money and was basically in charge. The church became wealthy and gained a lot of power, since the government was week and fell apart. The monks lived in cathedrals and were some of the most educated, wealthy people around. The church also was important because its where the people could find refuge and safety, with all of the war and fighting going on. Religion became very important and many converted to christianity. More specifically the eastern orthodox church. The peasants had to tithe 10% of what they earned to the church.
The tithes are used, for the pastors salary, the upkeep of the church and paying the electric bills etc.
