PayPal Giving Fund payout timelines and when nonprofits may not receive grants
Donations are made to PayPal Giving Fund, which grants donated funds to nonprofits according to PayPal Giving Fund’s timelines.
For PayPal Giving Fund-enrolled nonprofits, PayPal Giving Fund will distribute donated funds within 15-45 days after a donation is made. Payouts are issued on the 25th of every month in the US and the last day of the month for Canada, the UK, and Australia. For PayPal Giving Fund-unenrolled nonprofits, PayPal Giving Fund will distribute grants with a check within 90 days after a donation is made. However, there are a few reasons why grants might not be paid out.
Reasons nonprofits may not receive donated funds
No response:
The nonprofit didn’t respond to PayPal Giving Fund’s attempts to arrange delivery of the funds, or the check was returned or refused.
Nonprofit closed:
The nonprofit closed after the original donation or is no longer accepting donations.
Does not meet requirements:
The nonprofit does not meet the requirements of PayPal Giving Fund’s Charity Certification Policy.
When PayPal Giving Fund cannot deliver grants to the chosen nonprofit, they will, whenever possible, ask you to recommend another nonprofit. If you don’t respond, they will reassign the funds to a similar nonprofit, as per their Donation Delivery
policy.
You can track and view the status of your donation by clicking the link within the official donation receipt sent to you by PayPal or through the PayPal Giving Fund donation tracker
