Apple to Donate Towards Hurricane Melissa Relief Efforts

[MacRumors]

In a social media post today, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Apple will be making a donation of an undisclosed amount towards Hurricane Melissa relief efforts.

"Our hearts go out to all of those impacted by the destruction of Hurricane Melissa," said Cook. "Apple will be making a donation to help with relief efforts on the ground."

Hurricane Melissa has caused catastrophic damage, flooding, and loss of life in several Caribbean countries this week, including Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti.

Apple has donated to the Red Cross for hurricane relief efforts in the past.

I've "donated" plenty to Apple this year. Glad to see they're passing some of it on. A major hurricane takes a very long time to fully recover from. I know.

Tax write offs aren’t magical free money, you just don’t pay taxes on the money you donated and no longer have.

Unless you donate to your own magical tax-free foundation.
