How can I get my nonprofit set up with PayPal to accept donations?

The PayPal Donate button is a convenient and cost-effective way to collect donations online. 

PayPal nonprofit business accounts pay a standard rate per domestic payment. Visit our fees page for more information.

Qualified organizations can receive a discounted rate. Get started at paypal.com/charities.

For your organization to qualify, PayPal must confirm your charity or nonprofit status. Please review the get started guide to see what information you’ll need to supply.

You can apply by editing your business information in your Account Settings page to 'Non-profit' as the 'Business type'.

After you've completed the above steps, contact us back. We'll review your application and notify you of the outcome.

Discounted charity pricing only applies to your account after you receive an email from PayPal confirming your charity status.
