Sounds to me like the attendees think they are making a donation to your org. But in fact they are paying Company A so Company A can look like they are making the donation. On the surface it appears to be an ethically-challenged scenario.

Only $75 should have been entered in RE and accounting should record the balance as misc income since they are basically moving $49,175 to Company A to cover their proposal for scholarships.

Do the attendees know this was happening?
