Apple has donated frequently towards recovery efforts following natural disasters around the world. In the past, Apple has donated to the American Red Cross for these purposes.
In September 2024, Cook announced Apple would be donating to relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Helene. In 2016, Apple partnered with the American Red Cross to help support relief efforts for those affected by widespread flooding in southern Louisiana. In January 2020, Apple again partnered with the Red Cross to accept donations to help with fire relief efforts in Australia.
