Sometimes, they ask us to instead donate the money to a charity on their behalf, which we are also willing to do.
Oh, cool. I didn’t realize this was a possibility. I’ve always claimed the money and then donated the same amount to Rethink Priorities (where I work). If I’m lucky enough to have the opportunity in the future, I’ll do this instead.

Is the prize paid out to the recipient or is the prize a donation to a charity at the recipient’s choosing?
Prizes are paid out to recipients. Sometimes, they ask us to instead donate the money to a charity on their behalf, which we are also willing to do.
