And PayPal may contribute $50

The PayPal Donate button gives you a simple way to start accepting donations online. Plus, Paypal is offering a $50 contribution to the first 1000 charities with eligible U.S. 501 (c)(3) status that register with PayPal and receive $500 through the PayPal Donate button by March 31. Terms

It’s easy to add the Donate button to your website, and you can start accepting donations right away. You don’t pay any initial or monthly fees to use the Donate button – just a processing fee whenever you receive a donation.

Grow your donor base through our 164 million accounts.
Tap into the $2 billion in stored PayPal balances.
Provide a secure way to donate online.
