No, but they get credit for raising all that money with the non-profit. Walmart gets to send out press releases about the donation that are gobnled up by lazy journalists. Walmart executives get the fringe benefits that come with a large donation such as party invites and chumming around with other donors. Also, they are getting free mentions in this very comment.

you pretty much summed up how it works at the Canadian tills. It is just a PR "lookie at us being goodest" and the typical rich people doing nice things knobberey.

And a huge slap in the face and pain in the ass for their employees to which they don't give a shit about and who have to put up with the asshole comments that follow the request put forth by the employer.
