Nvidia Raises $15 Million for Non-Profits Supporting Israel-Hamas War-Affected Civilians
Nvidia and Employees Donate $15 Million to Support War-Affected Civilians
U.S. chipmaker Nvidia and its employees have donated $15 million to Israeli and foreign non-profit organisations supporting civilians affected by Israel’s war with Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Employee Support and Humanitarian Efforts
Thousands of employees from over 30 countries donated a total of $5 million, which Nvidia matched and doubled to $10 million under a special program to help those affected by the war. This donation marks the largest humanitarian fundraiser in the company’s 30-year history.
Employee Dedication and Care
“We are proud to see such broad support from Nvidia families in Israel and around the world, and are grateful for their prayers and hope for the return of our colleague Avinatan Or and the other hostages from Hamas captivity,” said Gideon Rosenberg, Nvidia’s deputy general counsel. “We are truly inspired by the genuine care of our employees around the world.”
Humanitarian Involvement and Support
Nvidia employees chose to donate to various organizations, 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.
Additional Support for Evacuees
Nvidia has 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.
Engineer’s Capture and Humanitarian Efforts
Or, a 30-year-old engineer at Nvidia, was captured by Hamas at the Nova music festival on October 7, along with his girlfriend and around 240 others, some of whom have since been released.
Humanitarian Aid Beyond Israel
This story has been corrected to clarify that donations were not made only to Israeli non-profits, indicating a broader reach and impact of humanitarian aid beyond Israel.
