[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's one thing, but there is no a charity donation screen at every big chain essential store like groceries, pet stores and clothing stores.  Even Best Buy.  Each is now paired up with some sort of related charity organization.  Before you pay you are presented with a screen prompting you to donate any of the suggested amounts like a dollar, 2, 5, 10, or custom. There is always this dollar button which probably makes it a low hanging fruit to collect this extra little "tax".  The value of donation buttons are generic and do not depend on how much you are spending, so they are more effective probably than percentage buttons presented at food service places.  If you are spending 100 bucks you probably don't mind donating a dollar, seems so easy and makes you feel good like you are helping a cause.

What do you think? This could be a mighty sum if people automatically donate, I wonder if this is legit or a scam.  I am guilty always donating a buck at pet food stores as I want to help shelter animals and it makes it easy without commitment.  But when I go to other stores, I am just tired being presented with a donation screen every time I try to pay for basic items. [/quote]

I assume the company donates this and gets a tax write off. Which you as the actual donor don’t get. No thanks.[/quote]

+1 The companies do it so they can get the tax credit. Plus most of the money goes to "management fees." Pick your charities very carefully and donate to them directly to get your own tax credit. Most "charities" run by celebrities are really tax shelters for them and not a lot of your hard-earned dollars actually makes it to the needy. It's really sick.[/quote]
