What information do I need to provide to confirm my charity status?

To get the discounted charity rate for your organisation, we need to confirm your charity account. You can begin the confirmation process on our Charities page.

You'll need to provide the following information:

Charity’s details:

  • Legal entity name and Registered (trading) name
  • Charity registration number CRA
  • Anticipated monthly donations
  • Date charity was established
  • Website URL
  • Charity purpose

Charity’s bank account:

  • Account number
  • BSB code
  • Online banking access (You can still register if online banking is not available, but the process will be delayed. You will need to check your bank statement when it arrives to verify your account)

Account holder’s details:

  • Email address (This will be the primary login.)
  • Job title
  • Date of birth
  • Home address
  • Letter of Authorisation (this is a document that states the account holder is authorized by the charity to act on its behalf) – PayPal provides a template for this

Once confirmed as a charity, your charity can access various PayPal products such as PayPal Giving Fund, Give at Checkout, and more.

How is this account information used?

We use these documents to verify that the charity or nonprofit is registered and to ensure that we meet our regulatory requirements for the government. Donors also need to know that their money is going to a registered nonprofit organization. We also need to verify that the nonprofit is registered because of the nonprofit discounted fees.
