The Justice League star, 31, was mentioned on the organization’s recently released 2017 donors list honor roll in a category for donations between $1 million and $4,999,999 million.

“My philanthropic efforts have always been centered around medical care, especially with women and children,” Heard recently told PEOPLE. “Medical care always struck me as a basic human right and necessity. I have been doing this type of work for the last 14 years with children’s hospitals and bringing, hopefully, laughs and alleviation and distraction to kids that are severely ill.”

Heard had pledged to make a donation to CHLA after she was awarded $7 million in her divorce settlement from her ex-husband Johnny Depp.

“As described in the restraining order and divorce settlement, money played no role for me personally and never has, except to the extent that I could donate it to charity and, in doing so, hopefully help those less able to defend themselves,” Heard said in a statement at the time.

She added that the donation would be divided amongst a number of charities but with “a particular focus to stop violence against women” as well as the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, where she has worked as a volunteer for the past 10 years.

The hospital’s CEO Paul Viviano thanked Heard last August, saying, “Her generosity will support the lifesaving treatments and cures that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles provides for critically ill children each year.”

Heard filed for divorce from Depp in 2016 after 15 months of marriage. The couple married in February 2015 after first meeting on the set of 2011’s The Rum Diary.

The actress is currently single after splitting from Elon Musk for a second time in February; they first broke up because of their increasingly busy schedules in August of last year.

“Elon decided it was time to end it and Amber agreed,” a source close to the couple told PEOPLE last month. “They both still care deeply for each other but the timing wasn’t right.”

Despite the split, they have remained friendly since calling it quits, and were seen arriving at the same pre-Academy Awards party in Los Angeles.

On Monday March 6, Chance ( whose real name is Chancelor Johnathan Bennett) revealed he will donate $1 million to Chicago Public Schools. The rapper made the announcement during a news conference at Westcott Elementary School, which sits a few blocks away from where he grew up. The sum of the donation will support the arts and after-school programming.

“I’m honored to make this donation to Chicago Public Schools Foundation and help cultivate Chicago creative minds,” he said, adding, “I’m committed to helping Chicago’s children have quality learning experiences that include the arts.”

Chance’s donation will start with $10,000 going to 10 different public elementary schools, with Westcott being the first to receive a check.

“It just opened up a whole new world for Westcott and its students,” said principal Monique Dockery in an interview with The New York Times. “We focus a lot on reading and math and the core subjects, and yet we have some very talented students who can go beyond that.”

To keep the flow of donations going, Chance announced that for every $100,000 raised, his organization, Social Works Chicago, will donate an additional $10,000. Chance will ultimately shell out $1 million to the educational system and he urged companies to donate as well.

“This check that I donated is a ‘call-to-action.’ I’m challenging major companies and corporations in Chicago and all across the U.S. to donate and to take action,” he said, adding. “The CPS students have spoken, and would like corporations to invest in them as we have invested in their businesses.”

Chance’s good deed didn’t go unnoticed as another famous Chicago native, former First Lady Michelle Obama, tweeted her adulation toward the rapper.

Thanks @chancetherapper for giving back to the Chicago community, which gave us so much. You are an example of the power of arts education.

The donation comes at a rough time for Chicago Public Schools as Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner recently vetoed legislation that would’ve sent $215 million to the district.

Rauner and Chance met on Friday March, 3, a meeting that the left the rapper feeling “flustered.” However, Rauner felt the meeting was productive and tweeted about the encounter.

.@chancetherapper and I talked about the imp. of getting more money for all school children in Illinois, especially low-income children.

Chance shot down any political motive for his donation during his news conference, insisting that it was about helping the children.

“This isn’t about politics. This isn’t about posturing. This is about taking care of the kids,” Chance said. “Everybody and their mama knows what’s going on in Chicago. We’re about to enhance the conversation on supporting and funding the education of the kids in Chicago.”

Shortly before Chance’s news conference, Gov. Rauner offered two options to provide the $215 million to CPS. In a statement, the governor’s spokesperson, Eleni Demertzis, touched on the difficulty for funding the city’s schools.

“While the Rauners are passionate donors to our schools, individual contributions will never be enough to address the financial challenges facing C.P.S.,” she said. “It would be helpful if C.P.S. officials came to Springfield and joined in serious, good-faith discussions about the long-term stability of all of our schools.”
