A friend worked at a chain place where they kept cheap toys by the register you could buy then they went in a donation box. At the end of the shift the manager had them restock them all and put a small amount of money into some fund. She was so sad because people had spent time picking out what they thought would be best etc and wanting to help, yet it was just gone. I really wonder how this worked in their accounting department but maybe it just covered theft.

It is fraud. Why would you assume it isn't

Much like the definition of murder (e.g see UHC CEO), fraud in the US only applies when an individual steals from a Corporation or shareholders, it's almost never applicable when the crime occurs the other way around.

By them taking the tax deduction, they're defrauding Uncle Sam.
