I prefer to donate to the charity’s of my picking, I wonder if once they donate moneys given do they keep the tax deduction? Say so farm store gets 10k from customers rounding up, they donate that to XYZ charity they get a fat tax deduction, score!
wws Agreed.

No. I tell them I'd prefer to round down if not too inconvenient. Best answer by far!
I tell them that if they can promise me it is a faith based children's charity then I will consider it. They usually look at me like I have 3 heads and I'm fine with that. I'm not giving a single nickel to Susan Komans baby butchering pyramid scheme or so A R lunacy.

I also don't shop at places that try to serve me a biscuit without access to butter. You've got to stand for somethin as the song says and that kinda BS is downright un-American

No. I usually use a card so don’t care if it’s a weird number, cash I will sometimes. I prefer to round down but the big stores don’t do that…lol

I wonder if they use that money for emergencies to pay themselves at an electric coop? LOL I do round up for random charities they collect for its chump change anyway it’s not going to break me in any way. Like Hippie Midway always gets a roundup every time.
I have learned over the years to never give to the ones that call you or send you requests in the mail. They make more selling your name to other mailing lists to make even more money off of you.
