Corporate charity is as it stands now really no better or productive than religious charity. It isn't designed to help is as much as it is done to make the entity look good. If humans are to use charity ethically the idea should be to work to reduce the need for it. Better pay for workers would do that. Free health care and free higher education would do that. Affordable living would do that.
Charity should have a goal of going out of business, not become a business. Charity is not a bad thing when done right, but right now it is way too much used as PR.
The best charity to me is to give more to workers and affordable living so they can do things without help. Charity should be a last resort, not a default. The dependency we have now is created by the top and the pay gap.
