The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star’s generous donations come after his six-week trial with ex-wife Amber Heard.
A jury awarded Depp $10.35 million, finding that Heard defamed him and cost him business opportunities by penning a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post calling herself a "public figure representing domestic abuse."

Heard countersued Depp and won $2 million on her claim that a statement made to the press by his attorney, Adam Waldman, calling her allegations a "hoax," was libelous.
