      Paypal Giving Fund?

      What is it? 

      PayPal Giving Fund (PPGF) helps people support their favorite charities online. They receive 
      donations through PayPal, eBay, and other technology platforms and make grants to their

      charity (Federal Tax ID: 45-0931286).

      through their relationship with PayPal & their partners.  PPGF makes it easy to support the 
      causes you care about.  They deliver the funds received to the right charity at the right time in a 
      responsible and thoughtful way. 
      Supporters will have access to PayPal’s extensive user base, where there are more than

      How do I sign up?
      Charities can enroll in up to 3 easy steps.   
      1.) To become automatically enrolled with PayPal Giving Fund, a charity needs to have a 
      PayPal business account.  If they don’t have one, they can sign up here.   
      2.)Once the PayPal Business account has been created, the organization will need to log in 
       and confirm that the PayPal account belongs to their charity here.   
      3.)The charity will receive an email verifying that their charity status has been confirmed 
      with PayPal and to let them know if they have been automatically enrolled in PayPal 
      Giving Fund.   
      a.)The review can take up to 2 business days to complete.  GiveWorx’s systems will 
      then update the next day following. 
      b.)Exception: Charity accounts domiciled in California will need to opt in and 
      complete the PayPal Giving Fund enrollment form after confirming their charity 
      accounts due to state regulatory requirements (steps 1 & 2 above).  This can 
      take up to 5-7 business days. 
       Once enrolled, each charity will receive a welcome email and they will be able to benefit from all 
      the giving programs and campaigns powered by PayPal Giving Fund.
