If you mean for the upkeep of the church i.e maintenance of it structure, then give what you can. If you mean that your donates will be used wholly for the welfare of the poor and needy people, why not fast for a day and give the money that the missed meals would have cost.
If it is for the wages of the Minister, tell him to go out and get a job. He can still attend to his ministry with the help of his flock, that is what they are there for, not to just sit on their bottoms one day a week.
Maybe beacuse they are only students and not working people they dont have the money to

Extremely rich. They are rich because people are scared, so people give their money to the church thinking it will keep them out of hell and put them in heaven. They are rich enough to pay off families so they can continue to indulge their twisted sexual appetites by sodomizing millions of boys. The amount of money that church has should be the first indication of its darkness.
people who decouple money from their values
I believe that when you are in the church you should,pray,sing,give money,kneel,be quiet,stand.

There are a number of reasons why we give money to the church. To pay for its upkeep, to pay for the services of the leaders and another is perhaps the most important and that is to feed the poor and hungry. If you are in a situation where you are in need of food and sustenance then the church will assist you in your need, not in a monetary handout but in goods and kind. This is not money laundering, but a genuine need to keep body and soul together.
Perhaps the money is from an illegal source or there are regulations on how the money should be spent.
