Giving to others can benefit both you and them.
Use the order of pronouns 2nd person singular and 3rd person plural. You don't need the reflexive pronoun 'yourself' because you would only say that giving to others a can benefit you.

No. From this sentence, you cannot tell who is doing the giving, or to whom "them" refers.
To correct this sentence, you might write it as "By giving to others, you can benefit both the recipients and yourself."

Giving to others can benefit both - them and yourself.

Giving to others can benefit all concerned.

Use another "others" instead of "them."
In fact, leave off the first "to others" altogether and just have it say "Giving can..."
[This is only my opinion here.] Try it, though... with "others and yourself."
