Just to clear up a bit of confusion, the company making the donation has no tax advantage over just paying this guy directly. In many jurisdictions there would be a tax disadvantage. Add that many firms would never engage in such a relationship because it has a confusing, legally dubious compensation and accountability structure.
Further, why not just charge the $5000 and donate it yourself? Why the gimmick?

- jordan801 9y agoI think the presumption is the tax incentive. I wonder if setting up something like "gofundme" but for this sort of transaction, would simplify accountability. So you donate/pay X, a non-profit organization, then they send the work to one of their contributors to build. This way you don't have the, "I paid so and so, but for something some other person built".
