Why did my donation go to PayPal Giving Fund?

PayPal Giving Fund is a Public Ancillary Fund (ABN 65 106 950 945) and a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). We receive donations on PayPal, GoFundMe, Facebook, Instagram, Twitch and other platforms, and make grants to our donors’ recommended charities. This is why your official donation receipt comes from PayPal Giving Fund.

We grant all 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.

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.
