Apple today announced that it will once again donate $5 for every purchase made with Apple Pay on Apple.com, in the Apple Store app, or in an Apple Store to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria from November 29 to December 8. Apple said its donation this year will be capped at $3 million.
The Global Fund aims to fight diseases like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria throughout the developing world. Apple says its donation to the organization will continue to “help fund critical health programs that save lives.”
Apple is holding this fundraising campaign in the lead-up to World AIDS Day on December 1 each year.
Apple has supported the Global Fund for 18 years through its partnership with the (RED) brand, co-founded by U2 frontman Bono. Apple offers select products in the (PRODUCT)RED color, and a portion of the proceeds from each of those products sold by Apple goes to the Global Fund. Apple says it has raised more than $250 million to date.
