Why didn’t my donation go to my recommended charity (PayPal Giving Fund)?

If a charity doesn’t meet the terms of our Nonprofit Certification Policy and/ or doesn’t meet PayPal Giving Fund’s due diligence standards, we may reassign the money to another charity. 

We may also reassign donations if we’re unable to grant the money, for example, if the charity doesn’t cash the checks that we sent. Where possible, we contact the original donor to ask for a new charity recommendation.

To learn more about how we grant donated funds to enrolled and unenrolled charities, please read our Donation Delivery Policy.

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