Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's Jolie-Pitt Foundation donated $100,000 to Global Action for Children, it was reported Thursday.

"With the holiday season upon us, we hope the generous gift from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation inspires others to give and focus on assisting orphans and highly vulnerable children around the world," the charity's executive director, Jennifer Delaney, said in a statement. "Each and every donation can truly make a difference in the life of a child."

See photos of the couple's most romantic moments.

In 2006, the couple - who are parents to three adopted children - donated $1 million to the GAC. According to tax filings, they donated more than $8 million to various charities through their foundation that year.

"GAC is honored to receive a second grant from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, and we greatly appreciate the Jolie-Pitt Family's continued commitment to and support of our work," Delaney added.

Check out adorable photos of the Jolie-Pitt kids.

Pitt was recently in New Orleans on behalf of his Make It Right Foundation, which raises money to build homes for families displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

Watch a video of Brad explaining his charity - and revealing he may wed Angelina.

That anyone would think Angelina Jolie is beautiful on the inside is laughable to me. A woman who had no more mercy on a wife than to flaunt her affair with her husband from the moment Mr. and Mrs. Smith ended is no humanitarian. Picking which people on this earth are worthy of your compassion doesn't make you a goodwill ambassador; it makes you another selfish celebrity who likes to play at being sweet---you can't have your cake and eat it too. You either truly care about people or you're just using them to help you create another image. These people are so quick to honor the customs of other countries; I think they would better serve humanity if they started with the most sacred custom of their own country...marriage. You don't tear down a covenant made before God and under man's law because you're having great sex on a movie set and you have different goals at the moment than your wife. Couples grow together as long as creepy tattooed goths don't wrap their bony, vein-protruding arms around you. No, there is no beauty here; only another piece of trash hidden in a Versace gown. Grow up America. Stop glorifying a fraud.

To you people who can't spell or construct a sentence and who rant and rave about "haters", are you such middle schoolers that you actually like these two posers because you think they're the hot couple? Or are you so immoral that you don't recognize how detrimental the celebration of this relationship is to our culture? Perhaps, you're just too stupid to see through the sham.
Now, turn on some Enigma and go with me to Brangie's reality:
Picture them and their brood boarding a plane for Timbuktu at 2 A.M. with the new infants in tow, junk food in hand, triplets in utero, deals in the works with multiple magazines for pics of the quads they are about to adopt if they can get around not being married, nannies chasing gun-toting six year olds, and a once hot now not Brad secretly dreaming of the hot girl next door whom he married before God and man. This is also the picture you’d find if you looked up the word CHAOS or DOOMED or SILLY or WHY OTHER COUNTRIES THINK AMERICANS ARE SHALLOW.

Please only respond if you can spell and use words other than curse words.

Brangie donating 100,000 out of their bank account would be like me donating a penny out of mine. There are many, many people out there putting their lives in danger every day not just in between movies, red carpets, and summer stays at a French chateau that costs in one night what it would take to feed a small African province for a year. Why do these two creeps get hailed as matching Mother Teresas?!! OH, THE HYPOCRISY!! Mostly I just see her coming out of toy stores or showing off her Adderall-sculpted post-twins body. And anyone who believes you lose that much weight naturally just wants to believe these people are genetically mutated super humans. Oh, if you only knew what they have access to!! This one is for all the children wearing skull and crossbones onesies —cause their mommy and daddy are still trying to be cool:

PLEASE, PLEASE no more pictures of you breastfeeding.

WE get it!! You’re the perfect earth mother now. If we promise that we’ll have the memories of you as a bi-sexual, knife-obsessed, brother-come-here-and-let-me French-kiss-you, billy-bob-blood-exchanging, adulterer surgically removed from our brains will you PLEASE just stay home and take care of these human beings you’ve brought into this world and adopted. Kids are kinda funny in that they’re not at all like adults…wow, go figure..I guess you and Brad didn’t read that book…kids don’t get an adrenaline high if they see the slums of India and tour the Louvre all in the same day; they just want to be in their own bed every night. Save the philanthropic globe-trotting and showing off for after you’ve survived all those hard, boring years when you’re just trying to develop their characters so that they won’t grow up to make other human beings miserable from their selfishness and immorality. That would probably do more good than a thousand speeches to the U.N.

I mean, come on now, what part don't you understand when she shouted out to her fans "quit stealling

End. P.S. now I am not telling you all what to do, but, if someone yelled that out to ME. well,

ur an idiot. nobody HAS to donate anything.
they do it because they want to.
and they don't brag about donating. it gets reported by others.
how much have u donated to anything lately? get a life.

I totally agree with you. It's not like they HAVE to donate. What do they have to gain from donating anything at all, let alone the millions they've donated already? Good publicity? Like they need it.

I don't know why ppl continue to hate on Angie, such a beautiful person inside and out. Would any of you haters travel to Pakistan, sleep on the floor in a hut and help out the locals for NO financial gain whatsoever?
I know I couldn't, which is why I respect her that much more.

You're all just jealous. Stop hating and look at your own, measly lives and see Angie for what she really is. A true humanitarian and a devoted, caring mother of 6.

I love when they brag about donating money....they have to for taxes..duh!

2:22 PM Carly Says:

To 12:53pm and 1:00pm
(continued) You want to complain about people that don’t give to help others….well there is a long line of famous/overly wealthy individuals and couples who make a whole lot more than this couple who don’t give anything at all. But first before you begin going down that list, why don’t you ask yourself what you’ve done to help anyone other than yourself. When have you acted in a charitable manner? As someone who volunteers time and who gives WHAT I CAN financially to charity on a regular basis I have to say that I commend their donations, I certainly wouldn’t be able to give that amount, but I'm glad someone else can. It would be nice if we could all be as charitable as this couple, but what would be EVEN nicer is if people like YOU would quite yapping and do something too.

2:15 PM Carly Says:

TO 12:53pm and 1:00pm
How much time do YOU give away to charity? I’m guessing zilch. How much time/money do you donate to any cause to help anyone – again, I’m guessing zilch/nada/absolutely nothing. I’ve noticed those who actually don’t give, and are otherwise GREEDY themselves are those who rate others on their ability to ‘give’. Actually, Brad and Angelina seem to be rare stars who give quite hefty portions to charitable causes – not to mention the time they spend to make appearances to such causes. Who are you to say anything about what they give – I don’t know about you, but I think giving $100,000 is a very nice gesture…I think giving anything is a nice gesture. Have you parted from such a sum of money in the name of charity? Have you parted with $20 in the name of charity? It’s not something they HAVE to do – especially considering that they live in the Hollywood world where it is predominate and perhaps even in their best interest to only think of one’s self in all aspects. I’d have to say I don’t know of many other Hollywood couples who go to such great lengths as to think of people other than themselves. If you can, please enlighten me.

This phony and classless person is spending 100 K each and every week, if not more. She has the biggest CO2 footprint ever. How can donating 100 K be considered a good deed? Absolutely ridiculous. Angelina Jolie is a worthless, self absorbed shank. Not worth mentioning at all.

12:53 PM Anonymous Says:

Angelina Jolie donates 100 K out of 17 Million dollars? This woman is even worse than expected. What a greedy selfish person. And this amount is even tax-deducting. Hypocritical shank! And the Jolie-Pitt foundation has only been created in order to save taxes. She doesn't care for the poor at all. Never did.

I am glad that they are donating. A lot of charities will be down in fundraising this year.

************I think it's assum that Angelina is actually helping people that are needy, I think it would be great if more Rich Hollywood
stars would start giving like she does and following their lead, but since there are so many unemployed according to the news today, it would be nice if Angie and Brad would start helping people in the US because of
all of the layoffs and recession!!! I wish all celebrities were like you
gies!! It's about time someone started showing the world you cannot take all that money with you when you die!!! But you can make a difference while your alive on this planet!! God Bless you both and Thank You for
helping less fortunate people around the globe!! Why don't you gies start
pushing other celebrities to look around the US and other countries and
ask them what could you do to help?? You are both a great role model for
the way celebrities should be! God Bless You Both!!

Mat 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

What is the precept of our Lord Jesus about it, Mat_6:3, Mat_6:4.
That we must not let others know what we do; no, not those that stand at our left hand, that are very near us. Instead of acquainting them with it, keep it from them if possible; however, appear so desirous to keep it from them, as that in civility they may seem not to take notice of it, and keep it to themselves, and let it go no further.
That we must not observe it too much ourselves: the left hand is a part of ourselves; we must not within ourselves take notice too much of the good we do, must not applaud and admire ourselves. Self-conceit and self-complacency, and an adoring of our own shadow, are branches of pride, as dangerous as vain-glory and ostentation before men. We find those had their good works remembered to their honour, who had themselves forgotten them: When saw we thee an hungered, or a thirst?

May God bless you as you study His Word

Mat 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
What is the precept of our Lord Jesus about it, Mat_6:3, Mat_6:4. He that was himself such an example of humility, pressed it upon his disciples, as absolutely necessary to the acceptance of their performances. “Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth when thou givest alms.” Perhaps this alludes to the placing of the Corban, the poor man's box, or the chest into which they cast their free-will offerings, on the right hand of the passage into the temple; so that they put their gifts into it with the right-hand. Or the giving of alms with the right hand, intimates readiness to it and resolution in it; do it dexterously, not awkwardly nor with a sinister intention. The right hand may be used in helping the poor, lifting them up, writing for them, dressing their sores, and other ways besides giving to them; but, “whatever kindness thy right hand doeth to the poor, let not thy left hand know it: conceal it as much as possible; industriously keep it private. Do it because it is a good work, not because it will give thee a good name.” In omnibus factis, re, non teste, moveamur - In all our actions, we should be influenced by a regard to the object, not to the observer. Cic. de Fin.
May God bless you as you study His Word

And the story above says she commands $15 million per movie. So how is giving a measly 100K considered a good dead!!?? It's a raisin in a car factory. What does she do with all of her money other than fly her kids around from country to country on a weekly basis and rent outrageous properties??? Good will embassador crap doesn't fly either! When has she given her money to Africa, Cambodia, Afghanistan, anywhere she's been? Not often and if she does..it's 100,000..mere pennies for her. Hollywood alone could wipe out world hunger and you people think she's a good person because why????

He looks great for his age. Shut up people who expect him to look 20 when he's 45. Idiots. He's incredibly attractive and always will be. And we all age. It's normal, hello?
===============================================
Reality Check, Freak: Brad looks TERRIBLE for this age! Yeah, the aging process is NATURAL, but he has aged REMARKABLY FAST since hooking up with Trampie/Wh0relina/Skankalina. Notice that Tom Cruise and Rob Lowe are older than Brad, but look MUCH BETTER. Although I don't like Tom Cruise, he IS sexy, and aging considerably MUCH better than Brad. The stress of living with a chronic liar and manipulator is taking its toll on Brad's looks. You people have to realize that when you strip away the fame and the money, he is just a Midwestern boy with traditional (marriage and family) values. MOST people lost respect for him when he hooked with the Queen of the Night. His parents, siblings, and fans NO LONGER respect him, and you can tell that this is literally killing Brad. The funny thing is that I think that Angelina loves that she was responsible for helping bring his reputation to that of a pig in a pigpen! She LOVES that people no longer think as highly of him, which is WHY she exposed to the world that Brad went outside of his marriage and made her pregnant with Shiloh. Face it Loons. Angelina hates Brad and Brad's looks have SUFFERED A LOT because of that.

Could there ever be a bigger skank than Miss Angelina Jolie? Could there ever be a weaker male, whose stupidity is in such full scale? Could there ever be a more twisted bunch whose lives of others they always crunch? Could there ever have been a bigger scam just for the sake of a wham bam thank you mam? Could there ever have been so rapid a decline caused by a woman with no behind? Has there ever been a more foolish pair than these two who are losing their hair? Has there ever been a more implausible show caused by the nation's biggest Ho? Could there ever be a man so up a pole he traded unlimited hats and kids for all his soul? Have there ever been two so crude with all their faux and attitude? We hope and pray they'll go away but, no, they are back nearly everyday. With the ubiquitous photo-ops. up they pop! Then there's the child of the day and the charming pics of where Mommy shops so gay. Brad looks real bad; he's been had all because he wanted to be a Dad. And the Ho is still as sick, she's just gotten more slick. So she spins, she yarns, she plots, she plants, and Brad Pitt wonders where the Hell went his pants.
