In actuality, isn't that a $50,000 salary reduction? Kind of like Al D'Amatos mandatory 1% kickback scheme in the 70s in Nassau County. Just a thought - charitable giving should be elective and of free will and conscience. If any employer pressures employees to donate back to the enterprise, it really ceases to become charitable in a sense. I also am of the mindset that charity should be done quietly and humbly. Advertising what large donors have contributed does encourage others to give, but it also brings attention to the giver as well.
