    This doesn’t surprise me at all, not even a little. You’re a multi million or billion dollar company and you’re asking me to provide charity that you can use as a tax break? Even if they were using it for charity it’s still a way to subsidize bottom line with customer money and “look” altruistic in the process.

      Some places don’t get a tax break but the free PR is very real.donate direct. Never through a company.

      They don’t get to use it as a tax break, you do. If they are doing fraud then that’s something else and they should be punished.

        This is correct, there’s no tax break. They do it they can state “so and so corp donated 1.5 million Megabucks last year”. It’s all bullshit.
