All fundraiser creators are verified by PayPal, and it's the fundraiser creator’s responsibility to deliver the money collected to the intended cause. Donations to fundraisers benefiting a person or business are typically not tax deductible, however, please seek independent finance and tax advice in relation to your donations.

For charity fundraisers, all donations go to PayPal Giving Fund and are safely granted to the charity in accordance with PayPal Giving Fund’s Donation Delivery Policy.

Charities that aren’t enrolled in PayPal Giving Fund are included in the PayPal Fundraising process. While unenrolled charities don’t have a PayPal account, they’ve been verified to be in good standing by PayPal Giving Fund.

Enrolled charities receive donations into their PayPal account whereas unenrolled charities receive donations via mailed check.

PayPal covers all transactions fees, helping you to do more with your donation and we ensure that charities are in good standing so that you can donate securely. PayPal Giving Fund will email you a donation receipt soon after you donate to a charity fundraiser.
