unironically don't do this. Corporations take your donation and use it as their donation for tax breaks. Why not suck their dick while your at it?

Do I get money off food?

No thanks, I only donate to Susan G. Komen

Can you file it as a donation on your own tax return?

Precisely this >>14901294

Don't ever donate money to any "charity". 99% of the time the money ends up in either someone's personal bank account or it goes to enrich the "charitable" organization.

This has become ubiquitous now I've noticed. Even my local chain ranch supply store asks if you want to "round up for charity!". Luckily our state has no sales tax so it's literally $.01, but its basically emotion extortion. I've started to make sure to say no to it lately, but sometimes you just reflexively answer 'yes'. I've definitely had cashiers just automatically roll it over.

Fyi they literally just pocket the money, but they do it in a devious little way where they """donate""" it to their charitable foundation (which is really just owned by the same big shareholders of the larger company) so they get to write it off on their taxes. So basically its them charging more money and then sticking you with a higher tax burden.

I was going to post something about sleeping in a teepee and working out by scalping heads at a craps table, but I'd rather ask why you'd make this comment about the guy? Seems weird. Are you a homosexual?

It's actually like 70 to 80 percent is spent on the company itself. Nice use of charitable donations there to say your money is going to cancer research is mostly a fucking lie.

[Anonymous No.14901588]

they can't get anything from it aside from PR. they take in a dollar and write off a dollar. it's stupid though and I don't support it because if I give a dollar and then they will go and parade around that "they" donated this money in their PR campaign about it

Reputation laundering, but the kicker is how many volunteer/unpaid workers they have in their workforces. Good thing some states still allow full-time volunteers at private charities to qualify for food stamps that we pay for.

A lot of charities are corrupt as fuck. They claim that the overhead is used to finance the charity itself, but they don't disclose that by "finance" they mean gifts, lavish business dinners, week long trips to the bahamas and other high end luxuries to the board of directors. A lot of those directors sit on the boards of other companies too, so they use charity promotions to create tax write offs for their companies, and use the charity money for their own uses. Some charities have overheads of 80%. If you feel strongly about giving you would better served donating to local charities that you can see your donations actually going to work for.

>Why yes, I am interested. Are they researching new and different types of cancer to give to kids?

>>14901294
This. Up in Canada the Bell mental health thing is the most obvious scam. They donate like 5 cents for every hashtag #Let'sTalkBell tweet that's posted and it's supposed to be Le Epic Mental Health Awareness but it's free publicity for them.

>in b4 it's not actually free
yeah whoopee it cost them like let's say 5 grand for a million tweets, money that they can write off for taxes.
