Powering Giving: Grounded in What We Do Best

Powering Giving: Grounded in What We Do Best

At eBay Inc., our approach to charitable giving is grounded in what we do best—technology-enabled commerce. In addition to the traditional corporate grant making we manage through the eBay Foundation, we see our role as a catalyst and enabler of charitable giving at scale.

Through an increasingly global and diverse portfolio of businesses, as well as cutting-edge technologies that enable anytime, anywhere transactions, we foster powerful connections that help nonprofit organizations, both large and small, to grow and thrive.

    Connecting people with easy ways to support the causes they care about

    Like shopping and making payments, people today want to make their donations quickly, simply and safely. Whether it’s providing a simple way for eBay sellers to contribute a percentage of sales to their favorite nonprofits or providing a one-click option for PayPal users to add a dollar for charity when they make a purchase, we want to make it easier and more convenient for people to give—whenever and wherever the mood strikes.

    The old models of fundraising are rapidly giving way to a whole new system of donor engagement. Our platforms and technologies enable causes to reach current and potential donors wherever they are—whether online or on the go—and raise the funds they need to pursue their missions. In this way, we help organizations cultivate a powerful community of supporters that will propel them forward to make even greater impact.
