There is no specific percentage. Charitable donations are itemized deductions. The total of all your itemized deductions must be more than the standard deduction for you to get a tax benefit. You can see what deductions are included in itemized deductions by looking at Schedule A: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040sa.pdf
