Apple has made a donation to a new fundraising campaign, America’s Food Fund, along with Laurene Powell Jobs, Leonardo DiCaprio and the Ford Foundation. Together, they’ve contributed $12 million toward the $15 million goal for the new initiative being hosted on fundraising platform GoFundMe. The proceeds will go to benefit World Central Kitchen and Feeding America. The former was founded in 2020 by Chef José Andrés to provide meals to the hungry in the wake of man-made and natural disasters worldwide.
Main Idea: Apple, Laurene Powell Jobs, and Leonardo DiCaprio helped launch a $15 million GoFundMe campaign to support food aid during the coronavirus crisis.
Key Points:
GoFundMe fees and the push for public donations may leave less money for hungry families, while asking cash-strapped households to help can feel unfair.
Apple, Laurene Powell Jobs, and Leonardo DiCaprio helped raise money fast for food banks and meal groups that could help millions of Americans during the pandemic.
