The donation was made in the name of the couple’s daughter, Shiloh, who was born in Namibia. Jolie said in a statement that she and Pitt ‘want [Shiloh] to be very involved and grow up with the understanding of her country of birth.’

The Jolie-Pitts’ donation will support a free clinic for a local community of San bushmen and help fund conservation programs for large animals, the Associated Press reports.
