    As others have said, you can only write off money you donate. They didn’t donate it, you did.

    Even if you gave it to them then they donate it, they’d have to count it as income and pay tax on it then donate it to get the tax break. But that’d just cancel itself out anyways.

    I have no idea why they ask for donations. Best guess is pr.

      PR is exactly it. “We raised millions for [insert cause]! Aren’t we the best?”

        Donate to Walgreens

        Money goes to Walgreen kids foundation

        Kids see 5%, ceo of foundation gets a 75% raise for hard work…fires half staff for being lazy.

        Fuck donating to companies.
