No, that is exactly what charity is. Improving one's surroundings by giving to others less fortunate in the community.

What you are describing is giving to others simply because you believe they somehow deserve your wealth if they have less. That is not charity, it is self-imposed slavery; working for / giving to others with no benefit to one's self.

There is a significant difference between the two actions.
