This is true. In fact, the wealthier any corporation becomes the more likely it is to be charitable. Not necessarily because they want to, but it is expected of them and enhances their public image (and maybe because they have actual scruples). Whatever the reasons, non-profits routinely get an appreciable amount of money from full-on capitalist corporations. It's not just thrift store chains that are helping out the needy, even if it appears that way on the surface.
