Disney Pledges $5 Million in Donations to NAACP and Other Social Justice Organizations

The Walt Disney Company is making strides this week to support various organizations advancing social justice.

Today, The Walt Disney Company pledged $5 million in donations, including a $2 million donation to the NAACP.

According to a statement released by The Walt Disney Company, the Company has been using their Disney Employee Matching Gifts program to match Cast Members’ donations to eligible organizations.

This comes after a series of statements made by the Company in response to the recent events which took place last week in Minneapolis, which sparked a series of protests across the nation.
