Donating is really about steering the money you're going to lose anyways to a cause you like versus the government's wallet. While it's not dollar for dollar, the deduction amount reduces what you pay and instead it goes to something you want to see happen with it. Either way you're going to lose your tax money. With donating you get to decide who uses some of it.
