You might think so, but the stores don't get to write it off.

They may not get to write it off, but they do get to benefit from the PR of bragging about how much they donate to charity, and they can also handpick the charity, many of which are just fronts for corporations to greenwash/whitewash their activities.

They certainly don't do that sort of thing out of the goodness of their heart.

And? The charity gets its cause in front of millions of people.

A mutually beneficial arrangement isn't a bad thing. This is basically just paying for advertising, which every charity ever does.
