MODERATORS
Most charities from cooperations are pretty much them getting your money and "donating" and then making it a tax right off benefiting them and only do it because it makes people think there "good" and want to help when it's just a scam for them to manipulate people and get more money.
Donate directly never through corporations. Always
That is absolutely false.
Corporations can only donate on your behalf, so they get no tax benefits whatsoever. They cannot claim the money you donated as income nor can they donate it under their own name. The only thing they can do is use it for PR and tell the public “they helped raise $x for this cause”.
That said, if you donate a non trivial amount to charity, you should do it directly with the charity so you can get a tax receipt and write it off on your personal taxes.
You might fact check that.
