There’s no way that stuff goes to charity huh? Or is it just a way for the company to say “Hey we donated ex amount of dollars to so and so this year!” Even though it really isn’t their money that they’re donating

It goes to the company's non-profit and it's a write-off for the company.

So you're paying extra for the company to retain earnings instead of paying taxes, and they funnel your extra money to a non-profit that probably only exists to launder money back to company brass and/or their families who are employed by the NPO.
