Enabling generosity

We are using the power of our technology and network to encourage generosity around the world.

About Us / Our impact / Communities / Enabling generosity

We are dedicated to using our products and services to help nonprofits and causes raise funds, making it easy for people to support what they care about. Anytime, anywhere, and in any amount. In 2024, our customers donated $21.8 billion to nonprofits and causes worldwide. This generosity reflects the strength of our global community and the vital role our platform plays in times of need.

We create innovative giving solutions

New generations are driving changes in charitable giving, and we’re creating tools to meet these needs. PayPal Rewards empowers our U.S. customers to earn and redeem points for cash back that can be donated to a cause of their choice. For our US customers, Venmo Charity Profiles allows users to raise funds and receive donations directly through the Venmo app.

We help raise critical funds to support global relief efforts

During times of crisis, we leverage the power of our core strengths — our voice, our people, our technology, and our scale — to support global relief efforts and raise critical funding. In 2024, PayPal facilitated aid in the wake of several natural disasters around the world, including hurricanes in the U.S., an earthquake in Japan, and flooding in Spain.

We partner to further our impact

We continue to identify new ways to make donating to nonprofits and causes more seamless. Over the past year, we partnered with more than 20 humanitarian organizations, including UNHCR, the International Rescue Committee, Save the Children, Doctors Without Borders, and UNICEF, to support relief efforts in Ukraine.
