Elizabeth Hurley has received "substantial" damages and an apology from Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) over phone-hacking.
The 51-year-old actress's lawyer said she had donated the sum to campaign group Hacked Off "to assist other victims of the press".
The model is one of a number of celebrities to settle claims against MGN over the last two months.
She did not attend the brief hearing at London's High Court on Wednesday.
'Voyeuristic interest'
Dr Evan Harris, joint executive director of Hacked Off, said: "[We are] extremely grateful to Elizabeth Hurley for her generous donation.
"There are hundreds of victims of phone hacking and press abuse.
"Ms Hurley's very generous donation will fund our work to support and campaign on their behalf."
The actress was pursuing damages over 58 separate articles published by the media group in 1998 and 2007.
Her lawyer Anjlee Saigol said "it was MGN's relentless, voyeuristic interest in her pregnancy between 2001 and 2002 that she still recalled with particular anger and horror so many years later.
