'Why now? The needs are increasingly urgent, and I want to see the impact in my lifetime.'
Dorsey, who is CEO of both Square and Twitter, made the announcement on his social platform.
Remaining funds after the COVID-19 crisis will shift to supporting women's health and education and universal basic income, Dorsey tweeted. "Why now? The needs are increasingly urgent, and I want to see the impact in my lifetime," he wrote."I hope this inspires others to do something similar. Life is too short, so let’s do everything we can today to help people now."
All of the donations Dorsey makes will be tracked in a publicly available Google sheet. So far that document shows $100,000 has been granted to America’s Food Fund, which was started by Laurene Powell Jobs and Leonardo DeCaprio.
