I aim to sell products and a % of it will go towards being able to directly help disadvantaged kids overseas (I’m familiar with the location and know a school that is struggling).

However I don’t understand taxes and how this works? As technically I’m donating the money but can’t specify that as I’m a for-profit business.

Can I also advertise my business to be on a charitable mission or is this wrong since it’s not completely non-for-profit?

For example, I would love to collect school supply donations and deliver it to the struggles school- can I legally collect donations?

Sorry if these questions are stupid, my business focus is to be able to support these kids but I want to make a profit to live.

E.g I’m McDonald’s and I start a mission called the McDonald’s Project where half the Big Mac sales go towards the project.

Do I register the project?
