You're probably right, but are you getting the tax deduction for donating, or is your employer? 400 * 15 * 12 = 72,000 / yr that your employer may be deducting

You're probably right, but are you getting the tax deduction for donating, or is your employer? 400 * 15 * 12 = 72,000 / yr that your employer may be deducting from wages on the backs of their employees... voluntary or not. Then they get to advertise their generosity and optional dress code. I hate thinking pessimistically like this, but you get conned enough times... and it's not like they actually need a dress code, if they're comfortable with taking money for people not abiding by it.
