    It’s true but it’s not the full story .

    Who gets to go the charity dinner and presents the check to the orphanage?

    Who gets in Time magazine for “taking a stand” for corporate responsibility?

    A corporation is not capable of benevolence. Give directly to the charity yourself, you’ll get a sticker and sometime a free pen.

      Lol. I can confirm, it’s true!

      Joking aside, some of my most cherished possessions are hand-written thank-you notes from worthwhile causes that I support.

      (Especially ones from children! “Donors Choose” is great when I need some crayon drawn notes in exchange for buying some school supplies.)

      (And given the context, I should clarify, from my own money, not someone else’s.)
