Now through August 28, Apple will donate $10 to the National Park Foundation for every purchase made in the U.S. using Apple Pay on Apple.com, in the Apple Store app, or at an Apple Store, up to a maximum of $1 million.
In addition, the annual U.S. national parks Apple Watch Activity Challenge returns on Sunday, August 23 this year.
Uh, yeah. Thats how the world works. Did you know you can deduct your personal charitable donations too? I guess that makes it less generous though, so I guess you shouldn’t bother. /s
Oh and the National Park Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, so Apple could likely write off the entire $1 million as a charitable deduction. So, in reality, this "generous" donation might not even cost Apple a dime after tax breaks.
It’s the height of ignorance to act like one political party abuses money and other does not.
Isn't the National Park Foundation controlled by Trump loyalists who treat it as a slush fund? Am I wrong about that?
So nice to see you and others A: dictate how Apple makes donations, and B: have the nerve to deem such donations as insufficient.
You’re a trillion dollar company. You can donate a million no strings attached as we’ve seen and it would be ashtray change for you.
You’re right, nobody wants nickels and dimes. I’m going to stop “rounding up” the next time they ask for a donation at the grocery store. /s
When I’m donating to causes I support, I don’t donate sums that amount to nickels and dimes in comparison, I don’t make it conditional on people buying stuff from me, and I don’t advertise my greenwashing to gain clout.
