Tough Times for Small Charities 

Small charities have been hit hard by the pandemic. Lock downs and restrictions have disrupted traditional ways of fundraising. We want to help small charities continue to raise funds during these difficult times.  

Digital Opportunity 

Digital technology has come to play a vital role in society, bringing new ways to work, connect and live our lives. The growth of eCommerce and online payments can offer small charities an opportunity to raise funds. Programmes such as Give at Checkout with PayPal can make the giving process easy and quick.  

Easy Giving 

Give at Checkout with PayPal makes it seamless for consumers to support a cause that they care about by being present in their regular, everyday transactions. PayPal users can choose to add £1 to their purchase when they checkout. These microdonations add up and can make a big impact.   

On average, PayPal customers checkout with PayPal 40+ times a year^* and donors who set a favourite charity are 4 times more likely to make a donation in Give at Checkout^**.  

#OneTapBigImpact 

With our #OneTapBigImpact campaign we want to help you engage with your supporters and encourage them to set you as their favourite charity. By doing so you could be in with a chance to win a grant of up to £6,000 from PayPal Giving Fund UK*.
