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?

Others have sufficiently answered your question and I learned some things, but I just want to add this to the post:
The Ronald McDonald house does great work for terminally I’ll kids and their families. It’s one of the only corporate charity organizations that I actually respect. There’s a Ronald McDonald camp here in Idaho at this beautiful mountain lake called McCall lake, and they truly provide a good and wholesome experience for some of the people in society that need/deserve extra love since it’s so hard to find positive things in life when your kid has a death date. Say what you will about corporations and their shitty roles in society, but the Ronald McDonald foundation is a good force. I recommend reading up on them.
