When Fast Food Places Ask You to “round up” for charity

999 viewsEconomicsOther

So McD’s asks you, when you pay, to round up the cost of your order for charity. My question is this: I’m giving the money to McD’s, not the charity. Am I then helping them get a bigger tax deduction for corporate giving? So my 18 cents they match means they get credit for a 36 cent charitable gift?

tldr: no, they do not benefit in any way from you donating except maybe some PR for “trying to help charity”

But, on the other hand, ***you*** can deduct those donations from your taxes
