- uytrtyui 16y agoThey do actually give away money - although with some strings attached (like your government not using open source!) IKEA itself - not the owner - is a charity, registered in Holland to be in the Eu but actually in the Dutch antilles so they don't pay Dutch tax and they can keep secret any donations
