My original point is that there’s no additional financial benefit to the company by doing this. They don’t win or lose financially.
People make these donations out to be some kind of financial scam. They’re not. They’re a perception scam, because the company can say “we donated X, aren’t we great”.
Because it’s not income and they’re just passing the money through. Why would they pay taxes on it?
They wouldn’t.
