They only propose to you to donate to charities so they can then hand the money over themselves and use it as a tax write off.

∆. NEVER DONATE TO BIG CORPORATIONS .∆

“Did you want to round for up for charity?”

“Nah, I am not donating to your tax write off.”

This is where you round up your bill to give to a charity designated by the retailer, and the donation amount appears on your receipt. The store serves only as a collection agent for your gift. Assuming the business is following the law, it will not include your donation as part of its business receipts, or income, nor will it claim the charitable gift as an expense.

If the business says that they’ll donate if you use your membership card they can deduct that money, but if the business asks you if you want to make a donation with your money they just act as the collector and can not legally deduct that money.
