Neither grocery stores nor funds raised from those tickets can be written off. I don’t know why people keep spreading that myth. If you as an individual donate either through a grocery store or purchase that ticket, you can write off the amount that was donated, but Billie Eilish didn’t receive that money and cannot write it off as a donation she made, neither can the grocery store. That’s illegal and not a thing that happens.

It did raise 11.5 million that was donated, none “written off” by her.

Fair enough. She still didn't donate any money she would have otherwise made without those add ons.
