Are there people who actually donate to causes this way? Through corporations who only want to lower their tax burden?

It's fucking insulting when places ask me this. Go fuck yourself, Wendy's.

They are not ONLY wanting to lower their tax burden. Saying you are going to give part of the proceeds to a non-profit is a great marketing tool and increases sales among certain demographics.

The taxes are ultimately a wash. It's revenue in/revenue out.

Your second sentence is the real reason.
