The first time I looked into this, I thought it was fake, but turns out I was checking the wrong year.
- 2023: $250–$499
- 2022: $1,000–$4,999
- 2021: $1,000–$4,999
- 2020: $250–$499
- 2019: $1,000–$4,999
- 2018: $1,000–$4,999
I appreciate them donating at all, but that's about the price of one Macbook per year - my girlfriend's most recent Macbook was $5,500
Edit: It looks like these donations may come from Apple matching donations (pdf warning)
Yeah the matching donations was the obvious answer. It's honestly a decent way to do charity as a company (obviously bigger ticket contributions are good, too), because it rewards them for their choices by increasing their value, and your contributions are going places that have some support behind them from your employees. Finding worthwhile causes that don't get money has value, but it's really hard and expensive to do.
What does one get with a MacBook that costs $5,500? Seems crazy expensive
A $2000 laptop with an Apple logo on it.
An Apple sticker from some person on Etsy sold for €10 sounds like a good deal now.
That's actually embarrassing. They could literally afford to donate millions.
I thought you were going to say that it's embarrassing to buy a $5,500 MacBook. Lol
pdf jumpscare
Unrelated to this post at all, I'm a bit out of the loop on this, is there something wrong with PDFs? Just wondering what the PDF warning is about, this just being the first I've ever seen that.
