edit: you should also know that you should just donate directly to the charity, but I thought that was common knowledge
Apparently the idea that it gives corporations a tax break is a misconception, rather, YOU get the tax break! edit: yes you have to have receipts, thought that was common knowledge and didn’t think i needed a disclaimer
Thanks to @TheRealKuni@piefed.social, @iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works, and @Zorcron@piefed.zip for that info!
edit: sorry for posting this, leaving it up so it’s not a “dirty delete”
This is why I just always default to “no thank you.” I Donate to charities, and I am lucky to have an employer that matches donations and I take the time to use that program. I research who I make donations to and never do it on a whim.
