edit: you should also know that you should just donate directly to the charity, but I thought that was common knowledge
Apparently the idea that it gives corporations a tax break is a misconception, rather, YOU get the tax break! edit: yes you have to have receipts, thought that was common knowledge and didn’t think i needed a disclaimer
Thanks to @[email protected], @[email protected], and @[email protected] for that info!

This I knew, but since the charties they’re giving to are usually unknown entities to me and there’s so much charity fraud in the world around me, I’ve never donated on the spot like that before.
I donate to things on my own time after researching, not under pressure. It’s more out of caution however.
Companies collecting for charities while underpaying staff and avoiding taxes is certainly horrible enough to not trust that they are going to pick valid charities.
