Apples donating $1M and you guys are complaining that it’s tied to sales or not enough. Give me a break. Can’t a nice thing just be a nice thing?

Oh and the National Park Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, so Apple could likely write off the entire $1 million as a charitable deduction. So, in reality, this "generous" donation might not even cost Apple a dime after tax breaks.
Just because you write it off doesn’t mean it doesn’t cost anything. It just lowers the taxable income.

Definitely expecting to see the maximum $1 million to be donated. Good to see Apple donating.

Or donate directly to the National Parks yourself, and cut out the middle man.

You’re a trillion dollar company. You can donate a million no strings attached as we’ve seen and it would be ashtray change for you.
So nice to see you and others A: dictate how Apple makes donations, and B: have the nerve to deem such donations as insufficient.

Same as it ever was

Uh, yeah. Thats how the world works. Did you know you can deduct your personal charitable donations too? I guess that makes it less generous though, so I guess you shouldn’t bother. /s
