Nasdaq: Chipmaker Nvidia raises $15 mln for non-profits helping Israel-Hamas war-hit civilians
From Nasdaq:
Nvidia and its employees have donated a total of $15 million to non-profit organizations supporting civilians affected by Israel’s war with Palestinian militant group Hamas. This donation is the largest humanitarian fundraiser in the company’s history. The company matched and doubled the $5 million donation from its employees.
The donations were given to organizations in the region including Asor Fund (JGive), American Friends of Magen David Adom, Doctors Without Borders, Friends of United Hatzalah, IsraAID (US) Global Humanitarian Assistance, Jewish Agency for Israel, World Central Kitchen, and Zaka. Additionally, Nvidia also donated hundreds of computers to families evacuated from the north and south of Israel, and provided thousands of hot meals from its Yokneam office cafeteria.
The company expressed gratitude for the support of its employees worldwide and hopes for the safe return of their colleague, Avinatan Or, and other hostages from Hamas captivity. Or, an engineer at Nvidia, was captured by Hamas at the Nova music festival on Oct. 7.
