    Because you’re giving them money that they then donate and claim as their own. It’s a way to get around actually donating money from their profits, while making it look like they’re donating a ton for the tax write off.

      That’s not how it works, at all. Businesses can’t claim donations they collect on behalf of a charity as a deduction.
