These corporations then pass off your donations as their own and get a tax write off

No they don’t. You are the one making the donation, according to tax code, you are the one who gets to claim the donation.

You're often donating to the store's charities, which can function to ease their burden.

Like who? Best Buy does St Jude’s. Most grocery stores are doing it through Feeding America.

And that means that you wouldn’t be able to use the donations as tax deductible on taxes.

This has to be more widely known! They pay less taxes because of your donation!
