Just so everyone is aware, when companies ask you to donate, they have ALREADY PAID for the donation and they are trying to get their money back by nickle and diming their customers. Don't fall for this.

Suspected as much, donating money is an easy way to get a tax break in most places. Wouldn't be surprised to see most companies donating just enough to be sure they got the full tax break from it.
