#2This is great news, but a nitpick, it isn't Michael Dell pledging, but his foundation.
Michael Dell, the billionaire Texan who founded Dell Technologies, has pledged $36 million of his foundation’s money to help disaster relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.
The gift from the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation is the largest donation to date aimed at recovery efforts.

That's kind of a distinction without a difference since the foundation is just the mechanism through which Dell makes philanthropic contributions.

He may have already donated this money to the org. So, this may be funding allocation not a donation.
Or this could be new money I am not sure.

Seems that's also what Trump is doing, he's using foundation money, not his own personal money.

Again, distinction without a difference. Is it a "funding allocation" if I was going to spend $100 on a night out but choose to donate it instead? It's both. And still just as much a donation.
