The three companies donated $11 million dollars to the fund and are calling on their customers to make donations as well. Uber used PayPal’s giving platform to roll out a feature that allows users to easily make donations to the fund while using Uber’s app.

Donations will be given to and managed by Local Initiatives Support Corp., a nonprofit focused on bringing social justice to underserved communities. The organization will work with local nonprofits and other partners to coordinate the free rides.
