    Then they use YOUR donation for their tax write off

    I never thought of that, but it sure seems likely now that you mention it.

    I've read somewhere they do that for sure

    Nope, it's just a passthrough, not income and not a donation from the company itself, they are just a collection mechanism for the customer making their own donation. You on the other hand can deduct that as charitable giving on your own taxes if you itemize.


    Can confirm. One of my employers did that for United Way.

    If your employer made donations of their own or a donation as a percentage of sales (blanket promotion applying to all customers such as "5% of each sale this month goes to United Way") that would be completely legal. If they asked customers to make donations (point of sale terminal stating "tap here to give $2 to United Way" or cashier asking "do you want to round up to the next whole dollar for United Way") and then claimed those they violated the law.
