I linked to my original post which had sources for my figures, which is the pre-tax and transfer poverty gap minus the total amount of charitable contributions. The actual figure is $84 billion, so I will actually amend this article to say "more than 80 billion" rather than "around $100 billion" since that is more accurate.
