PayPal Community Donates $64 Million on #GivingTuesday

At PayPal, we are motivated and united by a central mission: to democratize financial services so that as many people and businesses as possible can join and thrive in the digital economy. That’s a big mission. It’s challenging to achieve, and progress can sometimes be difficult to measure. Yet one of the more demonstrable areas is the impact that PayPal has on charitable giving. I am thrilled to share that $64 million was donated to charities and non-profits via the PayPal platform on #GivingTuesday. This is a 33% increase over donations in 2016, and includes donations originating from 175 different countries.
