The donation comes during a crisis for rural hospitals across the country, as many face financial difficulty and a lack of resources.
McConaughey has done other altruistic work during the coronavirus pandemic.
The actor hosted a virtual bingo night for seniors last month and has urged people to wear face masks to prevent the spread of the virus.
And this isn't the first time McConaughey has put his resources to good use.
Last year, during the California wildfires, McConaughey volunteered by helping feed firefighters.
