Apple CEO Tim Cook is planning to host a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton next month, reports BuzzFeed. Clinton just became the first woman in U.S. history to be the presidential nominee of a major party.

Cook, joined by Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of environment, policy and social initiatives, will help raise money for the Hillary Victory Fund, according to an invitation obtained by BuzzFeed News. The fund is a joint fundraising committee that contributes to the Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and 38 state parties. The fundraiser will take place on August 24, with an address to be provided to guests.

The fundraiser is not being hosted by Apple but rather by Cook as a private citizen. There are three contribution levels: $50,000, $10,000, and $2,700.

Last month, Cook hosted a fundraiser for Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan.
