Donor Terms of Service

(Effective date: December 11, 2024)

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a binding agreement between you and PayPal Charitable Giving Fund ("PayPal Giving Fund," "we," "our," or "us") and govern your use of our websites, subdomains, and any other websites or mobile applications referencing, embedding or linking to these Terms, including the website located at www.paypal.com/fundraiser/hub and any PayPal Giving Fund Services as described in the PayPal Giving Fund Nonprofit User Agreement and our other policies.

By using our services, you (i) agree that these Terms are supported by reasonable, valuable and sufficient consideration, (ii) acknowledge the receipt of such consideration, and (iii) state that you have read and understand, and agree to be bound by, these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you are not permitted to use PayPal Giving Fund. These Terms require the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions.

By making a donation to PayPal Giving Fund, you understand and agree that:

Your donation is made to PayPal Giving Fund, a sponsoring organization of donor advised funds (a “DAF” or “DAFs”). PayPal Giving Fund is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) under Section 501(c )(3) of the Code as a tax-exempt public charity (Federal Tax ID: 45-0931286). PayPal Giving Fund receives contributions and disburses those contributions to charities in the form of grants to further charitable and educational purposes. PayPal Giving Fund will only make grants to organizations that qualify and have been recognized by the IRS as public charities under Sections 509(a)(1) or 509 (a)(2) of the Code, or foreign organizations that, in the sole discretion and determination of PayPal Giving Fund, are the equivalent of a US public charity or conduct specific programs that would qualify as charitable and educational under US law. PayPal Giving Fund will not typically grant funds directly to individuals, supporting organizations, or non-operating private foundations.

• When you make a donation to PayPal Giving Fund, you may recommend that PayPal Giving Fund make a corresponding grant to a charity in the amount of your donation. By making such a recommendation, you certify that the grant will not be used to confer a personal or more than incidental benefit, directly or indirectly, on you, any member of your family, or any entity affiliated with or controlled by you. You also certify that no grant recommended by you will be made to satisfy a legally binding charitable pledge, to permit participation in an event (such as a dinner, raffle, or auction), or to pay for goods or services received by you, your family member(s) or any other person. You should be aware that IRS penalties may apply if you recommend a grant that results in impermissible benefits. PayPal Giving Fund makes every effort to approve a donor’s grant recommendation. You understand, however, that such recommendation is advisory only and is not binding on PayPal Giving Fund. You acknowledge that any grants made by PayPal Giving Fund will be made in accordance with PayPal Giving Fund’s accordance with PayPal Giving Fund's Donation Delivery Policy. You understand that PayPal Giving Fund, as required by law, retains exclusive legal control over all donations and may redirect funds to a similar qualifying charitable organization if it is unable to follow your recommendation.
