Apple does more than make great smartphones, tablets, and laptops. They also have an amazing corporate giving program. They have an employee giving match program.

Apple matches gifts up to $10,000 a year made by full-time employees, and with over 80,000 employees, Apple has the ability to donate millions to great charities around the world.

To date, Apple has contributed nearly $80 million to charities worldwide through its matching gift program.

Warby Parker

Whenever you buy a pair of Warby Parker glasses, a donation is made to one of their nonprofit partners that’ll cover the cost of a pair of glasses for someone in need. They do even more. They not only donate a pair of glasses to those in need, they help train locals to give eye exams and sell affordable glasses to those who need them in developing countries. This helps the community’s vision of health and provides jobs and revenue to those who need it.
