What do people think about corporate matching? Say I have two options:
1. Give 100$ under my name (tax benefits)
OR
2. Give 100$ under a friend’s name (who works for a company that has corporate matching)
Is any option better? Does corporate matching lead to companies donating more than they would have otherwise, or do they have a fixed budget for charity each year that only gets reallocated due to corporate matching?
I saw GiveWell’s post on this, but it doesn’t seem to address the above.
Corporate matching—good?
