Well the issue at hand was, the company didn't want its name advertised. This was made clear in the contract. The charity specializes in supplying the same goods the company supplies (overstock is given away and written off), so there was a long history of cooperation. Until the charity decided they needed to advertise on our behalf.

I just work in information security for the company of 15,000+ employees, so it's not my call in any way. I can both see where the company stands on the issue, and where the charity stands on the issue. Working the job I do, though, I am glad the company works hard to keep a low profile. No one ever sees us as a target because no one really knows we exist.
