Our mission
PayPal Giving Fund is a registered non-profit that raises new funds for charities through technology. Harnessing PayPal’s assets, PayPal Giving Fund is working to create a network of donors, businesses & charities so all can participate in helping charities raise new, unrestricted funds. Working with leading internet businesses, PayPal Giving Fund generates more than $35m in donations each year to benefit charities in the US and UK. Participation in PayPal Giving Fund is free, and we provide donation and donor reports, issue tax receipts, aggregate donations for monthly electronic distribution, and handle legal registration requirements — all without charging donors or charities for our services.*
