Why did my donation go to PayPal Giving Fund?

PayPal Giving Fund receives donations on PayPal, GoFundMe, Facebook, Instagram, Twitch and other platforms, and makes grants to our donors’ recommended charities. This is why your official donation receipt comes from PayPal Giving Fund.

We grant all of the donations that we receive to benefiting charities in accordance with our Donation Delivery Policy. In some cases, our partners may charge fees on donations made through their platforms, which they disclose on their websites. Donations made on some partners' platforms are subject to PayPal transaction processing fees.

We send an email receipt when the donation is made, and it includes a link to track your donation so that you can see when we grant the donated funds to your recommended charity. You can also enter the Transaction ID from your donation receipt into our donation tracker.

If you aren't a PayPal customer and have further questions about PayPal Giving Fund, please contact us.
