How do I transfer the money I’ve collected in a PayPal Fundraiser?
In your PayPal account, you’ll see a summary of the fundraiser’s total funds raised. You can transfer the money to your primary balance, and then withdraw it to a bank account linked to PayPal.
To transfer your PayPal Fundraiser balance:
- Go to your Dashboard
- Click Fundraisers
- Choose the fundraiser you want to view
- Click Transfer Money
- Enter the amount to transfer, and click Transfer Money
- Click Withdraw to Bank
Note that you're responsible to send money to the intended cause.
On October 7, 2024, PayPal disabled the ability to create Fundraisers as PayPal is discontinuing the PayPal Fundraisers program and services.
All current Fundraisers will remain open until they expire. You will need to move any funds from your existing Fundraisers into your PayPal balance no later than January 12, 2025. If you do not do so, we’ll move any remaining funds into your PayPal balance on January 13, 2025.
Customers can continue to support their favorite charities in the PayPal app. To get started, open the PayPal app, go to the menu, scroll down, and tap Donate under “Send and Pay” to find over one million charities vetted by PayPal.
When customers donate on the PayPal website or in the app, PayPal covers the transaction fees (when no currency conversion is involved), meaning 100% of their gift supports charity.
