I can't even find if they are making this a tax rebatable donation because it's impossible to find information on jstor. Any search with "jstor" in it will include results about papers (which i won't be able to read more than the title/abstract) from jstor and dozen of other sites, because search engines assume I mean "academic papers" with i type "jstor", even in quotes.

And jstor being opaque as it is, it is the perfect recipe for zero discoverability.

JSTOR doesn't get any tax benefit for doing this because they're already fully exempt from US income tax - their parent, Ithaka, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ithaka_Harbors).

Adding the term "Ithaka" might help your search, that's the parent company that develops Jstor.

I understand the struggle here. I was interviewing at that company at one point, and it was difficult to do research on them and the Jstor platform for the reasons you listed.
