  Yeah, unless it’s a specific fundraiser (as in, “We match all external donations up to X”), there’s no reason not to donate directly, in particular for cases where it’s easy enough to find a charity to directly support that isn’t someone’s personal tax deduction scheme.

  Usually because it’s part of a fundraiser like this one.

  Because sometimes it’s nice to feel like you’re a part of a community. I get it.
