Google announced on its blog on Monday that it will match every dollar of donation with two dollars in a new public giving campaign against Ebola.

The search engine is kicking off the campaign with a $10 million initial donation to organizations such as InSTEDD, U.S. Fund for UNICEF and Save the Children, the blog post said.
