iTunes Store Facilitating Donations to Support Nepal Earthquake Relief EffortsApple today rolled out a feature through the iTunes Store that allows users to <a href="itmss://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/buyCharityGiftWizard">contribute to the American Red Cross[/url] in support of relief efforts following the
Nepal earthquake that has killed over 2,400 people.
The feature leverages the hundreds of millions of credit cards already on file to allow iTunes users to easily donate $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, or $200 to the relief efforts. Apple will be passing along 100 percent of the donations to the Red Cross.

This is not the first time Apple has used to iTunes Store to raise money for charity, with the company most recently
raising money for City of Hope last October. Other previous relief effort fundraising campaigns have included the
2013 Philippine typhoon, the
2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami, and the
2010 Haitian earthquake.
