    Them getting the PR for it is a financial inventive (future sales) even if it doesn’t save them money on their annual balance sheets. It is comparable to advertising.

      Yep but honestly I still don’t think the benefit matches what they spend. Especially true since they often match donations or make their own large donations.

      And after all, if they’re helping money go to charity by advertising it to their customers, I’m fine with them getting a little benefit in return.
