What can the rationale possibly be?

I recently got a summer job. I decided to try and be responsible and allocate the money I make as follows:

College saving (in my savings account): 50%
Charity: 10%
Take home: 40%

My mother has told me that she doesn’t think I should be spending any money on charity. She even threatened to make me quit the job!

I can’t possibly imagine what the rationale for this could be. Why would she hate charity? It’s only 10%. I’m lost.

Any advice?
