6. Perfect

A donation of 25 million dollars on a fortune of 33 billion. That amounts to 1 dollar for every 1320 dollars that he owns. With my monthly income, that would be like giving away less than a dollar...

The company is also donating 100 wireless hotspots to areas in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone where first responders are stationed. The hotspots will provide voice and data services to those on the ground, says Chris Weasler, head of spectrum policy and connectivity planning.

Facebook is also utilizing its ad technology to target specific users with educational materials about Ebola. For example, users in Sierra Leone will see explanatory messages from UNICEF, a United Nations relief organization, in their feed as part of an educational push, says Gleit.
