Google Will Donate $2 For Every $1 Given By Public To Fight Ebola

Google's aim is to raise $7.5 million to give nonprofits working in West Africa.

Google said Monday it plans to donate $2 for every dollar donated by the public to fight Ebola.

The campaign was announced after Google and CEO Larry Page's foundation donated $25 million to fight the global Ebola crisis.

Google said it plans to raise an additional $7.5 million.

The funds will be distributed to four nonprofits working in West Africa.

Last week, Facebook added an Ebola button to users' profile pages allowing them to donate.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg also donated $25 million to the Centers for Disease Control Foundation to help fight the disease.
