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 @TheRealKuni@piefed.social, @iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works, and @Zorcron@piefed.zip for that info!
edit: sorry for posting this, leaving it up so it’s not a “dirty delete”
Sorry downvoted.
Doesn’t matter, you are still helping them in terms of PR.
“Oh look how good we are, we are a benevolent corpo that raised X Million dollars”
Nah, if you want, you should be donating directly to the cause. Don’t let corpos get good PR for nothing.
i agree, the point of my post is to clarify the misconception, especially for anyone who may have donated in the past and felt guilty about it
The truth is the truth, even if it doesn’t fit your anti-corpo narrative.
