    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.

      $2.74 trillion company in case anyone wants to do the math. "Here's a 10th of a penny, don't spend it all in one place"

        I thought you were going to say that it's embarrassing to buy a $5,500 MacBook. Lol

      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.

        Some browsers (mobile/etc) automatically download PDFs, and PDFs have had security vulnerabilities/exploits in the past
