To preempt the inevitable: no, companies do not take your donations and then use them as a tax write off to somehow profit. That's a myth. That's not how taxes work. Those donations are yours and you can claim them on your taxes. Yes, really.

They definitely don't profit but don't donations lighten a corporation's tax liability?

No. They literally just said that's not how it works.

But to add to this: maybe do your own research. Don’t take strangers’ words at face value. And don’t take every search result at face value either.
