The Global Fund is a private-public collaboration with the goal to fight against diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, AIDS and HIV worldwide. The yearly donation made by Apple will help in funding important health programs that could save lives.
The company has supported The Global Fund via their collaboration with the brand RED, which is co-founded by Bono, U2 singer, for 19 years. Apple, however, does not offer any gadgets in the RED charitable color so, the collaboration may seem less known. In the previous year, the company reported they had raised over $250 million for RED up til today.
