Yes and no. Simply, no. Charity is not a component of GDP. Practically though, yes it is counted because charities have to purchase things or give money to people who in turn purchase things. This becomes the biggest portion of GDP: consumption. Say you donate $1,000 to Habitat for Humanity. This $1,000 is NOT calculated in GDP. But Habitat will then turn around and purchase lumber, nails, dry wall, insulation, etc etc etc with that $1,000. At that point it becomes part of GDP.
