Tips for Applicants

This is primarily a donation processing platform, not a traditional grant-maker. Charities seeking support should enroll in the PayPal Giving Fund program to receive donations through partner platforms. Focus should be on having a registered charity status and maintaining good governance to be eligible for the platform.

Giving Philosophy

Believes in using technology infrastructure to democratize giving by removing friction from charitable donations. Operates on a zero-fee model to maximize the amount reaching charitable causes, leveraging PayPal's existing payment networks and partner integrations (Facebook, eBay, GoFundMe, Twitch) to broaden donor reach and simplify fundraising for charities.
