EDIT: Just realised you said “only for its reputation”, which makes my arguments for Apple less relevant (though it is still a very highly-regarded brand!).
If money is no object, I’d say Apple. It’s one of the most loved brands, it is phenomenally good at marketing and it holds enormous financial influence. Not only could you direct a portion of its revenue to EA causes, you could also do things to encourage the spread of EA — for instance, add a “round up” feature to Apple Pay that rounded all your purchases to the nearest dollar, with the money going to EA funds.
Obviously this is not at all possible, but it’s an interesting question to think about. Even if no one can “buy” Apple, it’s perfectly possible for an EA to eventually become CEO of Apple and that could have much of the same impact.
:P yeah a bit. But I still think some of what you say stands. It is well known that FTX supports effective charities and that’s really good on reputation alone.

I wouldn’t say money is no object. Instead I’d say that we have to look at the cost benefit. But your points still stand.
