    Couldn’t the CEO of the nonprofit be the spouse of the CEO and make a huge percentage of what they donate?

    Not saying donating through a mega corporation is always bad, but I’d prefer to look into who I’m donating to rather than a split second thought at the end of a transaction.

      this! the megacorporation receives 500k donations, which they transfer to CEO’s son’s “charity” that spends 99% of it on the said son’s salary. he buys another ferrari and the charity sends some flowers to a children cancer hospital.

        Non profits can still have employees that get paid, they are just required to report who gets paid and how much (at least in my state).
