    The problem isn’t the charity, it’s the restrictive way a business handles charity donating.

    Why a quarter? Why these select brands? Could’ve done so much better.

      The business exists to make money. That’s why it’s a business. Having a co donation scheme with a charity is just a way to let people incentivize extra purchases.

      If people simply didn’t buy those items and just donated directly that would be more efficient. That’s always an option

      They probably had to negotiate with the brands so the brands could cough up 10¢ of that 25¢. Only certain brands agreed.
