Microsoft Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Co. are two of a handful of companies agreeing to divert 20 percent of their charity donations to the cause of providing developing countries with Internet and telephone service. At a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on Monday, both companies announced they had joined the CEO Charter for Digital Development, an initiative by the World Economic Forum being administered by the United Nations. In the case of Microsoft, which donated dlrs 36 million in cash and dlrs 179 million in software last year, funds given to alleviate the so-called digital divide should surpass dlrs 43 million. Hewlett-Packard is expected to add around dlrs 10 million of its philanthropy budget, which was about dlrs 50 million last year. Microsoft, which has contributed to technology programs in Poland, South Africa, Kosovo and elsewhere, decided to join the initiative to take advantage of the "synergies" that come with collaborating on aid projects, said Bruce Brooks, Microsoft's director of community affairs. | ||
