Sat nam. Tithing is about giving 10% to God's work, so typically one tithes to one's place or organization of worship, whether a gurdwara, a church, a temple, or the umbrella association that oversees the particular place of worship. Giving to the needy, while important, is not considered the same as tithing. How much one gives to the needy is totally personal and up to the giver.
