The former Friends star appeared on Oprah’s Big Give – which is hosted by Oprah Winfrey and sees contestants competing to raise as much money as possible by getting the rich and famous to donate – and initially decided to award the seven competitors with USD10,000 each.
However, after hearing more about what they’d done, she tripled her contribution.
She said: “That just felt too good. I personally would like to triple it. So we’re going to go USD30,000. Guys, thank you for doing this and inspiring everybody.”
Jennifer is the latest in a long line of stars to donate large amounts of money while appearing on Oprah’s shows.
Last month, Drew Barrymore gave away USD1 million to the United Nations World Food Programme to help feed starving children in Africa.
American Idol judge Simon Cowell then paid off the USD162,000 mortgage of a family with a three-year-old daughter suffering from cancer.
