Apple says that its internal Giving program has raised more than $365 million for non-profit organizations around the world since its inception eight years ago. Under the program, Apple matches every dollar that its employees donate up to $10,000 each, with combined donations totaling more than $125 million in 2018.
The feature highlights thousands of locations where Apple employees volunteer their time, including the Terence MacSwiney School in Cork, Ireland, where more than a dozen employees from Apple's nearby campus volunteer at the school each week to teach coding, drawing, photography, music, and video.

Apple is exploiting everything these days :(
Apple likely does a lot of good you don't hear about it too, but the stuff you do hear about is awesome as well.
You don't like the tax law, write your congressman. The tax laws are followed to the letter by Apple. Apple has a fiduciary responsible to its shareholders to maximize any tax benefits allowed by law, just as you would do on your own taxes, if you're smart.
Apple also pays more income tax than any entity in the world.
Nice try though.
Jobs never had a matching program; I guess this proves Apple has truly lost its way. Tim Cook should surely be fired :rolleyes:
