An organized church of any kind, by definition, is formed and maintained by its own members. Churches in the West generally don't get money from (or give to) the government, so churches ask for the support of its members to pay for the publicly used trappings of that religion: most commonly the building, furnishing and/or maintenance of a place to meet, religious garments and paraphernalia, and in larger churches the salary of a dedicated clergy. Many churches maintain some financial transparency for the benefit of its members, as without it donations are prone to abuse and embezzlement.
