Even if they did give it, they get tax benefit instead of you.
No, they don’t.
They literally just don’t have to count the amount you gave them as income. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. You can’t profit off of middle manning donations unless you commit fraud.
Also if your on the charity board etc you can use the funds for “marketing” or “admin fees”. Its a quite common scam that crappy charities only donate like 5% of donations
So, you’re kind of correct. However, you CAN make profit by acting as an ‘organizer’ for the charity event, where the charity pays you the money as a service, but directly gets the donations. See: Games Done Quick, which is a for-profit LLC that the various charities they ‘support’ pay them to put on the event. Of course, this number naturally is likely to end up being a % of the last event’s donations.

And fraud is not something youtubers is known for!
That’s not the point. It’s the constantly repeated “they get tax benefits” lie despite that never being the case.
