Oprah Winfrey was so moved by the fact that playwright and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda’s brought Hamilton to Puerto Rico to help rebuild the island after Hurricane Maria that she decided to join the effort.
On Monday, the Hispanic Federation and The Flamboyan Arts Fund announced that the media mogul donated $2 million to help with long-term relief efforts on the island, PEOPLE reports. Each organization will split the funds equally, $1 million will go to long-term support and $1 million will be devoted to the advancement of the arts and culture programs.
