Microsoft, Google and Adobe are each donating $1 million to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration fund, company spokespeople confirmed Thursday.

Google will also live stream Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration on YouTube and provide a direct link to it on Google's homepage.

Meta, Amazon and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said late last year that they would each donate $1 million to the fund, in an attempt to improve relations with Trump.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said last week that he would personally donate $1 million.

Trump has raised more than $170 million for his upcoming inauguration, according to a Wednesday report in The New York Times.

In 2017, Trump raised a total of $107 million for his inauguration. And The New York Times, citing sources, noted that this year's donations could total a new record of $200 million.

Microsoft donated $500,000 in 2017 and 2021 to presidential inauguration funds.
