ATLANTA (CBS46) - The CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are making a major donation to the CDC Foundation.

The Zuckerbergs announced Tuesday they are donating $25 million to help fight the Ebola epidemic.

The money will be used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's efforts to end Ebola in three African nations affected by the potentially deadly virus, and anywhere else in the world Ebola may pose a threat.

Just last month, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen donated $9 million to the foundation.
