How do charities receive donations?
We partner exclusively with PayPal Giving Fund to benefit charities in the United States, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. PayPal Giving Fund receives donations and grants donated funds to benefiting charities, based on their policies and terms in eligible countries.

How do taxes work?
Donations to non-profits may be eligible for tax benefits or deductions, depending on local law and the location of the donor and non-profit.
If you have questions relating to taxes, please contact a tax professional.

Are there fees?
Meta no longer covers donation payment processing fees in the United States, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. All donations in those countries will now incur a payment processing fee from a third-party payment processing partner. Donors will have the option to increase their donations to cover fees.

Can I donate anonymously?
Yes. To donate privately, select "Only me" from the privacy menu in the donation form.

Fundraiser for World Vision by Ellen Shimada ·
2024 LA Charity Challenge will be my ninth year participating with World Vision.
We take access to safe clean water for granted. We think it is a basic right. But for many people in developing countries this is not the case. They have no access to safe clean water. That is why I continue to partner with World Vision.
Team World Vision helps provide life-changing clean water to children and communities in the developing world....
More than 800 children under age 5 die every day from diarrhea caused by contaminated water, poor sanitation, and improper hygiene. But we believe the global water and sanitation crisis can be solved within our lifetimes.
$50 = clean water for 1 person
Will you invest in the future and provide clean water for 1, 2, 3, or even more people?

Eight weeks to go before the Los Angeles Charity Challenge. You have been amazing in supporting me. I am half way to my fund raising goal. 📣Thanks for all who have donated. We did 8 miles during our training this Saturday. It is so much more fun to train with others who have the same heart. Gorgeous weather! 😊
