Jesus told us he did not come to change the law. Pay your tithes.

Is it only tithe that's in the old testament? What of burnt offering and polygamy, who changed them?

That have not been changed but taking to a more perfect level by Jesus. That of sacrifice like burnt offering has been fulfilled by the offering of the body of Jesus on the Cross.
Those offerings were not permanent solutions for cleansing but temporary pending the coming of the messiah ( Jesus Christ ) . So there4 any other laws or commandments which has nothing to do with sacrifices are valid and must be obeyed.

Laws like :

Leviticus 18:6-10,12,17,20 KJV
None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their unclothedness: I am the Lord .
[7] The unclothedness of thy father, or the unclothedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her unclothedness.
[8] The unclothedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's unclothedness.
[9] The unclothedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their unclothedness thou shalt not uncover.
[10] The unclothedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their unclothedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own unclothedness.
[12] Thou shalt not uncover the unclothedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
[17] Thou shalt not uncover the unclothedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her unclothedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
[20] Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.......

Tithes has nothing to do with killing of animals for atonement, so, it is still valid.

Jesus himself told us that tithe is necessary in :

Matthew 23:23 KJV
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

That is aside from tithing , you should be merciful and have faith in addition.

Of course they will. God has a way of funding his work with or without our money.
