George and Amal Clooney have donated over $1 million (£810,000) to a series of charities to aid funds during the coronavirus crisis.
Sources have told Deadline that the couple has handed The Motion Picture and Television Fund, the SAG-AFTRA Fund, and the Los Angeles Mayor’s Fund $250,000 (£202,000) each and split an additional $300,000 (£242,000) between the Lebanese Food Bank, the relief effort in the Lombardy region of Italy, and the National Health Service (NHS) in the U.K.
Clooney is a board member of The Motion Picture and Television Fund, which provides financial assistance to struggling actors, filmmakers and crew members, while his cash to Italy will support hospitals in the area surrounding his Lake Como retreat.
