He was talking specifically about Utah when he said “here”. He even mentioned that the state was leading the nation in charitable donations. There was zero ambiguity.
The bulk of those “Charitable” contributions are “voluntary” contributions to the mormon church. Members must contribute 10% of their income plus a little extra just because in order to hold positions of leadership in the church, get married attend cult weddings and most importantly not go to hell.
The mormon church uses less than 1% of their funds for humanitarian needs. The other 99% is used to expand the hundreds of billions in hoarded wealth.

You won’t catch me singing their praises, I just wanted to point out this post and article is a really stupid hit piece.
The “charitable donations” are the community’s socially required tithes to the Mormon church.
Not exactly the same as everywhere else.
Nobody asked, I’m sure corporate tax write offs are no small part either, point is he was talking about Utah.
