There is a strong under current in members that being right is more important than helping the poor.

The LDS Church has over 100 billion dollars in the bank and on average gives 65 million a year to charity (including donated time).

Since 1985, LDS Charities has provided over $2.2 billion in assistance, including cash, commodities and in-kind donations in 197 countries and territories.

2.2 Billion over 33 years with 15 million members - that’s 66.5 million a year, or $4.40 a member a year.
