Pierre Omidyar (oh-MEED'-yar), eBay's founder and chairman, and his wife, Pam, have donated $50 million to the Hawaii Community Foundation.

The charitable services and grant-making organization said Tuesday that a portion of the six-year commitment will be used to launch several community initiatives.

It says the rest of the money will support the Omidyars' ongoing philanthropic interests through their Omidyar Ohana Fund at the foundation.
