Was propapbly an emberassed employee paying it out of his own pocket, just pretending his company would even care a tiny bit.
Last time this was posted someone said apple matches employee donations and someone probably donated 24 and apple matched it.
$5-24*
But yeah, this is 100% the case of Apple matching an employees donation
Or, someone donated 2.5-12, Apple matched it and filed the whole thing under their corporate account.
The last time this was posted, people were speculating that Apple does donation matching for employees, so they only did this unconsciously.

$250-$499 range.
Meanwhile BlackBerry donated in the $10k+ range. 🤣
but blackberry doesn't donate or make systems anymore...
Apparently they have cash enough to donate. 🤷
\No, I'm saying they aren't in the donors list either\ Oh wait I just saw they're in the partners zone, nevermind!
This was either inspect-element'd or made before March 2019. Apparently Apple (or its employees) donate little by little over each year. Here are the total donation records:
2023: $250-499 (so far)
2022-2021: $1,000–$4,999
2020: $250-499
2019-2018: $1,000-4,999
Made me laugh out loud though at least, right hand side mspaint comic is well-made
Also, why are the Apple people blue-collars?
$24?
Surely it was only $5.
"It won't go lower than $5!"
"Uuugghhh, fine, give them five."
"Alright, we're on the supporters list"
"Great, issue a press release telling everyone how great we are for giving back."
