Did you mean to say this? Or are you confused?

The Expenses:Charity account should hold the ACTUAL donation 
transactions and so will reflect what you actually donated.

If you "reserve" a portion of your income that amount is NOT an actual 
donation until you make the donation (at which point you "unreserve" the 
amount of the donation)
