Technically, all tithes paid to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) count as charity, since the Church is a non-profit. When Church members pay tithes to the church, they can choose to have their money go into a general fund to be used where it is needed most, or they can choose a specific category, such as humanitarian efforts, building funds, or missionary work.

The categories on the donation slip are:

Missionary funds: Mormons can donate to a specific missionary or to a general fund for those missionaries who are too poor to pay for their own food, shelter, and supplies.

Book of Mormon: The Church gives out millions of free Book of Mormons, and this fund goes to pay for the printing of those free books.

Humanitarian Aid: money goes to disaster relief programs, charities, orphanages, hospitals, etc.

Temple construction: pays for the construction of new temples around the world

Perpetual education: pays for higher education to young people in third world countries.

Fast Offerings go straight to helping the less fortunate within the local community.

Tithing general fund is used wherever needed, whether it's paying the electrical bills for the church building or buying blankets for humantarian work. It is never used for any for-profit ventures of the Church.
