Maybe. If Amazon buys $10B worth of electric trucks and clean energy (which coincidentally saves them money and increases the stock price) then Bezos hasn't sacrificed anything. But calling it a fund makes me think this is not the case. Anyway, philanthropy shouldn't be measured in terms of sacrifice.
