I don't believe in tithing either, if tithing means giving 10% of your income. I think the amount you give should be based on your circumstances - maybe more, maybe less.

That said, while volunteering your time is very important, as an officer of a religious organization, I can tell you that without a steady stream of donations, we'd have to shut our doors, no matter how many volunteers we had. We need both volunteers and donors to be viable.
