> Corporations are made up of people, and people have causes they want to be charitable towards.
almost none of the people that make up a corporation are free to decide where money goes. the few people that do take the money out, the board of directors or whatever, could just donate their own money to whatever charity.
Most of the corporations in the US are pretty small. When a local plumbing company in your community sponsors a neighborhood little league team, there probably isn't much discussion on that company's board of directors about the donation.
