"Our hearts go out to all of those impacted by the destruction of Hurricane Melissa," said Cook. "Apple will be making a donation to help with relief efforts on the ground."

Hurricane Melissa has caused catastrophic damage, flooding, and loss of life in several Caribbean countries this week, including Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti.

Apple has donated to the Red Cross for hurricane relief efforts in the past.

Tax write offs aren’t magical free money, you just don’t pay taxes on the money you donated and no longer have.
Who writes it off, David?

Not sure why the tax aspect has any relevance to the discussion.The fact the Apple and other companies donated is what is relevant.
Because this corner of the internet is populated with edgelord wannabes who want to make everything - including a piece about a charitable donation for disaster relief - about how terrible Apple is.

Not as far as I know they don't but typically in situations such as this - hurricanes, earthquakes and the like, Apple will set up somthing with say the Red Cross/Red Crescent that people can donate to. It's usually about $1,000,000 USD
