Apple has donated $2.5 million to the American Red Cross to benefit Hurricane Sandy relief, 9to5Mac reports citing an internal company memo.
"For the past week, our thoughts have been with those affected by Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath. And Apple employees and customers the world over have raised millions of dollars toward the relief effort so far. But we can always do more. That's why, on behalf of all our employees, Apple is making a donation of $2.5 million to the American Red Cross to benefit Hurricane Sandy relief. We hope this contribution will help families, businesses and communities recover and rebuild," says the memo signed by Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Last week, Apple provided a link for donations for Hurricane Sandy relief on iTunes. Under Steve Jobs' leadership, Apple wasn't known as a very charitable company, but judging by these two charity efforts, it seems Tim Cook is out to change that.
