eBay Execs Lead List Of Charitable Donors
from the good-for-them dept
They may be giving away all your private info to anyone who asks, but at least they're charitable... The two founders of eBay, Jeff Skoll and Pierre Omidyar, along with CEO Meg Whitman personally donated a combined $99 million to charity last year - which puts them at the top of the list of total charitable donations from executives at a single company. As expected, donations continue to head lower than they've been in previous years. Also, more executives are making longer term commitments, rather than giving the cash upfront.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
