Generous Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Give Millions To Charity
Globe trotting Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt handed out quite a bit of dough to charities this past year. The couple’s tax filings indicate over 8 million dollars was given to their foundation and handed out to various charities they’ve supported.
In 2006, the foundation donated about $2.4 million, including $1 million gifts to Doctors Without Borders (International Division) and the Global AIDS Alliance.
The foundation’s other donations include: $137,935 to the Namibia Red Cross Action Program (Jolie gave birth to Shiloh in Namibia); $100,000 to the Daniel Pearl Foundation (Jolie played the widow of the slain journalist in A Mighty Heart); and $100,000 to the Epidermolysis Bulloma Medical Research Foundation, which is supported by other A-listers including Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox.
Pitt and Jolie, Us‘ Couple of the Year, have also backed the cause of rebuilding the gulf coast, where Pitt recently enlisted the aid of Bill Clinton for his Make It Right project.
Say what you want about them, but the duo not only promotes charities, but they help to fund them as well.
