Six former Apple employees in California face multiple felony charges for allegedly stealing about $152,000 from the company via its program to match workers’ charitable contributions. Prosecutors say one of those charged also worked with two nonprofits, to whom the others contributed, triggering matching gifts from Apple. The nonprofit official then reimbursed the employees — who claimed the donations on their taxes — and pocketed Apple’s contributions, according to prosecutors. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment. (Los Angeles Times)
Philanthropy can do much more to address the current crisis affecting men, which shows up in alarming statistics on suicide, violent crime, and physical and mental health. Some estimates suggest that programs specifically for men and boys receive even less than the 2 percent of annual American giving that directly benefits women and girls. Experts and advocates are pleading for more money to train more men as therapists and in other caring professions; intensive tutoring for boys, and more research into how they learn; and more research generally into men’s well-being.
