Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt give millions to charities

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.
