So just hoping the unlicensed companies putting out donation boxes without further maintenance don't attract any donations because the lack the license?
How can you be sure that the non profits who distribute Krispy Kreme Donuts in the same unsealed boxes that sell them as fundraisers with Krispy Kreme’s blessings aren’t selling unadulterated products?
Charities, even small charities, have lots of money. They can handle small license fees. They want to comply with the law/regulations/licenses just like any other business.
Why don't they license their name to other entities, essentially allow approved clones? Muddying your non-profit goal by operating a for-profit, publicly-traded company seems suboptimal.
It is a basic tenant of society not to cross the line and just give money or support to a project that is basically owned by a company, we have other structures for this that don't result in some company being able to launder donations into profit and a commercial asset.
We don't really have the legal system to prevent the problems that inevitably arise like commercial buyouts or stock holders demanding a company behave as the for-profit it is.
