Apple offers easy relief donation tool through UNICEF to assist with crisis in Ukraine

Apple has made it easier for users to donate to Ukrainian relief efforts through UNICEF via a banner on to of its website that connects to an iTunes page that allows for quick donations up to $200 using the Apple ID payment method.

Apple says that all donations made through the iTunes portal will go directly to UNICEF USA and its ongoing efforts in Ukraine to support families impacted by the war. Apple has already announced several steps it is taking in response to the situation in Ukraine, including ceasing sales operations in Russia and the removal of several Russian state-sponsored news outlets from the App Store.

Company CEO Tim Cook announced in a letter to staff this week that Apple would match employee donations to eligible organizations aiding in Ukraine at a rate of 2:1, retroactive for donations made since February 25.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
