In 1998, DiCaprio and his mother donated $35,000
for a "Leonardo DiCaprio Computer Center" at the Los Feliz branch of
the Los Angeles Public Library, the site of his childhood home. It was rebuilt
after the 1994 Northridge earthquake and opened in early 1999. During the
filming of Blood Diamond, DiCaprio worked with 24 orphaned children from the
SOS Children's Village in Maputo, Mozambique, and was said to be extremely
touched by his interactions with the children. In 2010, he donated $1 million
to relief efforts in Haiti after the earthquake.
In November 2010, DiCaprio donated $1 million to
the Wildlife Conservation Society at Russia's tiger summit. DiCaprio's
persistence in reaching the event after encountering two plane delays caused
then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to describe him as a "muzhik" or
"real man". In 2011, DiCaprio joined the Animal Legal Defense Fund's
campaign to free Tony, a tiger who has spent the last decade at the Tiger Truck
Stop in Grosse Tete, Louisiana. In April 2013, DiCaprio donated $61,000 to
GLAAD, an organization which promotes the image of LGBT people in the media.
In early 2016, at a meeting with Pope Francis,
he gave a charity donation and spoke about environmental issues. A few days
later, possibly influenced by his meeting with DiCaprio, the Pope said he would
act in a planned faith-based charity film, Beyond the Sun. It would be his
first acting experience, and would also be the first time in history that a
Pope appeared in a feature film. Profits from the film would be given to
charities in Argentina.
