How do I know if my charity is enrolled with PayPal Giving Fund?
If you’re not sure whether your charity is enrolled with PayPal Giving Fund, you can check by viewing your profile on PayPal’s app or website. If you haven’t enrolled, you’ll see a note explaining, the source for the charity profile is “The Charity Commission ”.
Alternatively, you can check if your charity is enrolled by trying to log in to your PayPal Giving Fund dashboard (using your PayPal account credentials) or contact our customer support team.
