The article didn't say whether Bernnie Marcus, Home Depot co-founder pledged to contribute from his own fortune or from Home Depot's funds. Probably it's his own money, otherwise the board of directors and stockholders would have had a mention.

I consider this omission a sign of a shifty article.

Meanwhile, Home Depot is publicly traded, with lots of stockholders, employees and vendors. Are you willing to damage their earnings because you are angry at one man? If so, why?
