Countries in West Africa are being gripped by a worsening epidemic that has long since overwhelmed the fragile healthcare infrastructure of the region. In many ways, aid has been slow and organizations worldwide have been calling for more aid to be sent to help the millions of people at risk in these countries.

Now it appears that several titans from the tech industry have answered the call and are donating tens of millions of dollars to help provide resources to the Ebola stricken countries.

Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have offered up $25 million in aid of the medical professionals braving the virus on the front lines. Announced on Facebook this Tuesday, the donation is being given to the Center for Disease Control Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps collect funds for the CDC.

“We believe our grant is the quickest way to empower the CDC and the experts in this field,” he said as part of his post.

Other tech moguls are stepping up to donate money as well. Microsoft co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen have also contributed large sums.

Allen designated $20 million to help fight Ebola. The donation was taken from his family foundation and given to a fundraising campaign known as Tackle Ebola. The website for the organization shows that his funds will be used to provide much needed materials such as rubber gloves and masks to protect caregivers from infection.

Gates has been reported to have donated a staggering $50 million to relief efforts. His contributions have been filtered largely through the U.N. and affiliated organizations.

Donations on this scale are reflective of the tech industry as well as the ways younger generations choose to donate, according to industry experts. People are no longer content with sending off money to an organization that otherwise remains unnoticed. Now, donations are sent more directly and donors are more interested in knowing how their supported cause is faring.
