- Join our Workin' It campaign on eBay Giving Works
- Workin' It
is an online event to raise funds and awareness for organizations that help unemployed Americans find, get and keep a job. If your nonprofit supports these initiatives, we would like to shine our spotlight on you. -
Why participate?
- Your nonprofit can benefit in several key ways by joining our Workin' It campaign:
- Enjoy Extra Visibility
Through February 13th, your organization's name will be featured on a special list of participating nonprofits here. - Receive Donations
Raise funds around the clock! Every time a listing that benefits your organization sells, you get a donation. It's that easy. - Attract New Donors
eBay has 86 million active users, all of whom could be potential donors. Every listing that benefits your nonprofit features your logo and mission statement – the perfect way to spread the word about your work and engage new supporters. Your organization can also receive cash donations through Donate Now. -

Selling
- If your organization has not sold on eBay, there is absolutely no better time to get started. This is the perfect opportunity for you to raise the profile of your organization. You can list items such as your organization's merchandise, books, and tickets to your events.
- And don't forget – the eBay Giving Works Fee Credit makes it essentially free for your nonprofit to sell on eBay.

- Use social media: Let your fans and followers know they can support you on eBay or that they should check out a neat listing up to benefit you. Or, post a message to our community on our Facebook wall or through Twitter: @eBaygiving.
- Add an email signature and encourage your staff to do the same.
- Embed a weblink on your homepage that directs supporters to the campaign and let your supporters know they can support your work when they buy and sell.
