Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt give millions of dollars to various charities

According to 2006 tax records, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, donated over 8 million dollars to various charities.

They have given at least 4 million dollars to their own charity the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which was set up two years ago to aid humanitarian causes around the world.

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 (the birth place of their biological daughter, Shiloh)

$100,000 to the Daniel Pearl Foundation, a trust set up to honor the former Wall Street Journal reporter murdered by Islamic extremists in Pakistan(Jolie played the widow of the slain journalist in A Mighty Heart)

$100,000 to the Epidermolysis Bulloma Medical Research Foundation, which is supported by other A-listers including Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox.

In addition, $20,000 was donated to an art park in Los Angeles while two orphanages visited by Jolie received $5,000 each.

I can definitely see why these two are called “Hollywood’s power couple.” There is nothing like beautiful do-gooders.
