That’s my point. The donation is financially a corporate donation, but is being marketed to the employee as a perk of their employment. That it’s “their” donation.
The perk is your charity gets the money, the point of giving to charity isn't the tax benefits...
Again yes, that’s exactly my point. They are double dipping on the good will; first as an employee perk, second on their corporate annual reports.
If I care about cause XYZ and as part of my employment, my company gives $1000 to a charity that I picked which supports cause XYZ, that absolutely has value to me.
