Reliability Tier2
Tier 2: a practicing halachic authority's own published guidance on maaser kesafim, read in full at its hosted address. States the baseline as "giving ten percent of one's moneys to tzedakah," names chomesh, giving twenty percent, an elevated standard, and states that donations to Torah institutions count as distributions to the poor and are the preferred use of maaser funds. An individual posek's practical writing rather than an institution's own official statement. Citation
