As tithe is not a person, you can only give it to god or the church.
The tithe was one tenth of a person's production, so a farmer, for example, would give the Church one tenth of his crop.
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.
Even if you aren't a part of a local church (which is a terrible mistake), for a Christian, there is really only one Church. A tithe is 10% of your income that God commands his children to give back to him. If you don't have a church right now, give to a ministry that you believe in.
By definition, tithe refers to a tenth of the harvest or income which was taken by the church - in a manner similar to income tax.
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.
Christians tithe 10 percent to God to grow his kingdom here by giving to church or Christian missionary efforts, and then give more of their money past the 10% to charity.
As long as you give your collectio, even to another church it is counted as a tithe.
It is called tithing; one gives a tithe to the church.
Baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' Church) are expected, but not required, to give a tithe to the Church. A tithe, according to the Bible, is 10% of your increase. Tithes to the Church are used for building construction and maintenance, congregation activities, curriculum materials, humanitarian aid, and missions. Church members can also choose to donate more if they desire. They can direct where their tithing and other donations go by filling out a form. You can see an image of the form at the "Related Link" below.
The word you are looking for is 'tithe.'
A church donation, simply speaking, is a gift of money you give to a local church community. Often this is amount is separate from "tithe." Tithing is when Christians give the first 10% of their income to the church, usually on a weekly basis. Donations can occur at any time or for any reason, but are generally contributions given to some project (i.e. helping orphans in Uganda). Churches are almost always 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, thus both tithes and donations are tax deductible.
