Philanthropic funding to combat the coronavirus has topped $1 billion, including $182 million from U.S. sources, according to Candid, a foundation research group.
That total exceeds the $898 million Candid has identified in total pledges and donations in response to eight major hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires since September 2017, including Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria and the Australian fires.
Candid tallied $363 million in philanthropic funding for the Ebola outbreak of 2014.
For the coronavirus, the $182 million from U.S. donors came in second, behind China, where at least $729 million has been committed so far.
